A hallmark feature of episodic memory is that of “mental time travel,” whereby an individual
feels they have returned to a prior moment in time. Cognitive and behavioral neuroscience …

Despite large individual differences in memory performance, people remember certain
stimuli with overwhelming consistency. This phenomenon is referred to as the memorability …

Due to the critical roles of emotion and working memory in our daily activities, a great deal of
attention has been given to how emotion influences working memory performance. Although …

The quality of short-term memory (STM) underlies our ability to recall the exact details of a
recent event, yet how the human brain enables this core cognitive function remains poorly …

Objectives: Reduction in the amount of information (storage capacity) retained in working
memory (WM) has been associated with sleep loss. The present study examined whether …

Negative emotion sometimes enhances memory (higher accuracy and/or vividness, eg,
flashbulb memories). The present study investigates whether it is the qualitative (precision) …

A growing body of literature has demonstrated that motivation influences cognitive
processing. The breadth of these effects is extensive and span influences of reward …

Although a considerable literature has grown up around the interactions between emotional
state and visual working memory (VWM) performance, the mechanism underlying the impact …

This study examines how induced negative arousal influences the consolidation of fragile
sensory inputs into durable working memory (WM) representations. Participants performed a …

The present study dissociated the number (ie, quantity) and precision (ie, quality) of visual
short-term memory (STM) representations in change detection using receiver operating …
