Perception and perceptual decision-making are strongly facilitated by prior knowledge about
the probabilistic structure of the world. While the computational benefits of using prior …

The idea that memory is not a single mental faculty has a long and interesting history but
became a topic of experimental and biologic inquiry only in the mid-20th century. It is now …

To evaluate the veracity of models of the mere exposure effect and to understand the
processes that moderate the effect, we conducted a meta-analysis of the influence of …

A study that goes beyond the debate over functional specialization to describe the ways that
emotion and cognition interact and are integrated in the brain. The idea that a specific brain …

One of the most robust experience-related cortical dynamics is reduced neural activity when
stimuli are repeated. This reduction has been linked to performance improvements due to …

A New York Times Notable Book: A psychologist's “gripping and thought-provoking” look at
how and why our brains sometimes fail us (Steven Pinker, author of How the Mind Works). In …

This paper presents a review of theoretical and empirical work on repetition suppression in
the context of predictive coding. Predictive coding is a neurobiologically plausible scheme …

Though often reliable, human memory is also fallible. This article examines how and why
memory can get us into trouble. It is suggested that memory's misdeeds can be classified …

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and event-related potentials (ERPs)
to visualize the cerebral processing of unseen masked words. Within the areas associated …

Memory systems research has typically described the different types of long-term memory in
the brain as either declarative versus non-declarative or implicit versus explicit. These …
