If God Handed Us the Ground-Truth Theory of Memory, How Would We Recognize It?

V Popov - Social and Behavioral Sciences; Cognitive Psychology; …, 2023 - zora.uzh.ch
What makes a scientific theory convincing? We have many formal models of human
memory, but no agreement about which is the right one. If anything, we agree that they are …

A neural index reflecting the amount of cognitive resources available during memory encoding: A model-based approach.

S Ma, V Popov, Q Zhang - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
Humans have a limited amount of cognitive resources to process various cognitive
operations at a given moment. The Source of Activation Confusion model of episodic …

Temporal Attention Modulates EEG Spectral Correlates of Successful Memory Encoding

AW Broitman, KM Swallow - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Variability in attention can influence episodic encoding across multiple time scales. Here we
investigate whether this variability can be captured in neural subsequent memory effects. In …

Associations supporting items gained and maintained across recall tests.

LJ Lohnas - … of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and …, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
When performing successive recall tests without restudy, subjects' recalls exhibit intriguing
variability across tests, including gaining or losing items across tests. To examine the …

EEG Biomarkers of Age-Related Memory Change

AW Broitman, MK Healey, MJ Kahana - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
The current study investigates whether electroencephalographic (EEG) activity reflects age-
related memory changes during encoding. We recorded scalp EEG in 151 young adults …

[PDF][PDF] A dynamic model of context-based retrieval

MD Paron, JD Paron, MJ Kahana - Available at SSRN 4956645, 2024 - osf.io
We propose a comprehensive model of how experiences are encoded and retrieved from
memory. At the core of the model is a dynamic retrieval process incorporating two essential …

[PDF][PDF] A theory of memory for items and associations

BJ Jin, DJ Halpern, MJ Kahana - files.osf.io
We present a retrieved-context theory of memory for items, associations, and their interaction
(CMR-IA). Our theory assumes an evolving representation of temporal context that binds to …

[PDF][PDF] Phonological Similarity and Recall Dynamics

HG Herrema, MJ Kahana - osf.io
Similarities among items govern how individuals organize their memories, as seen in the
order and timing of successively recalled words in free recall memory tasks. Prior work has …
