Our brains constantly generate predictions about the environment based on prior
knowledge. Many of the events we experience are consistent with these predictions, while …

Memories are readily distorted. What conditions allow memories to be altered? Converging
evidence implicates prediction error, or surprise, as a key mechanism that renders memories …

Deep neural networks currently provide the best quantitative models of the response
patterns of neurons throughout the primate ventral visual stream. However, such networks …

Life's events are scattered throughout time, yet we often recall different events in the context
of an integrated narrative. Prior research suggests that the hippocampus, which supports …

Highlights•Infants use statistical learning to acquire environmental structure and
regularities.•Statistical learning operates over multiple modalities and levels of …

Prevailing theories of hippocampal function argue that memories are rapidly encoded by
non-overlapping memory traces. Concurrently, the hippocampus has been argued to …

Recent human behavioral and neuroimaging results suggest that people are selective in
when they encode and retrieve episodic memories. To explain these findings, we trained a …

The brain supports adaptive behavior by generating predictions, learning from errors, and
updating memories to incorporate new information. Prediction error, or surprise, triggers …

Events that overlap with previous experience may trigger reactivation of existing memories.
However, such reactivation may have different representational consequences within the …

The brain actively reshapes our understanding of past events in light of new incoming
information. In the current study, we ask how the brain supports this updating process during …
