In our recent article in the journal Cortex (Cooper, Greve, & Henson, 2017), we examined memory for source and item information using data from two different source monitoring paradigms and six different groups of participants....
In his October 17, 2012 interview with Robert Ryals, Richard Dinning (1922-2022) details his thoughts and memories as an Army Air Corps cadet at Winthrop. Dinning includes details of his career in the Army Air Corp during...
Older adults tend to display greater brain activation in the nondominant hemisphere during even basic sensorimotor responses. It is debated whether this hemispheric asymmetry reduction in older adults (HAROLD) reflects a...
The function of the human hippocampus is normally investigated by experimental manipulation of discrete events. Less is known about what triggers hippocampal activity during more naturalistic, continuous experience. We...
Fast mapping (FM) is an incidental learning process that is hypothesized to allow rapid, cortical-based memory formation, independent of the normal, hippocampally dependent episodic memory system. It is believed to underlie the...
Within two centuries of his death, Richard III became a vehicle for political allegory. As an epitome of tyranny, he was invoked by writers criticizing contemporary government under the veil of medieval history. In 1649, Charles...
Mnemonic discrimination deficits, or impaired ability to discriminate between similar events in memory, is a hallmark of cognitive aging, characterised by a stark age-related increase in false recognition. While individual...
Frequently experiencing an item in a specific context leads to the prediction that this item will occur when we encounter the same context in future. However, this prediction sometimes turns out to be incorrect, and recent...
Events that conform to our expectations, that is, are congruent with our world knowledge or schemas, are better remembered than unrelated events. Yet events that conflict with schemas can also be remembered better. We examined...
Resting-state functional connectivity, as measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), is often treated as a trait, used, for example, to draw inferences about individual differences in cognitive function, or...
In this paper, we review the evidence that learning is driven by signaling of Prediction Error [PE] by some neurons. We model associative learning in artificial neural networks using Hebbian (non-PE) learning algorithms to...
Intrusive memories of a traumatic event can be reduced by a subsequent interference procedure, seemingly sparing voluntary memory for that event. This selective-interference effect has potential therapeutic benefits (e.g., for...
Functional magnetic resonance imaging and electro-/magneto-encephalography are some of the main neuroimaging technologies used by cognitive neuroscientists to study how the brain works. However, the methods for analysing the...
This four-page program details the ProTheatre of Ursinus College's production of "Richard III," held March 1 to March 6, 1976 in the Bearpit theater. It includes information regarding the casting and production crew.
Mounting behavioral evidence suggests that declines in both representational quality and controlled retrieval processes contribute to episodic memory decline with age. The present study sought neural evidence for age-related...
We thank all the commentators for their thoughts on our review of Fast Mapping (FM) in adults, where we questioned the evidence that FM is a distinct learning mechanism, and urged caution over the excitement generated by the...
Much of higher cognition involves abstracting away from sensory details and thinking conceptually.
How do our brains learn and represent such abstract concepts? Recent work has proposed that neural epresentations in the medial...
Conventional memory theory proposes that the hippocampus is initially responsible for encoding new information, before this responsibility is gradually transferred to the neocortex. Therefore, a report in 2011 by Sharon et al....
Intrusive memories of a traumatic event can be reduced by a subsequent interference procedure, seemingly sparing voluntary memory for that event. This selective-interference effect has potential therapeutic benefits (e.g., for...
