Memory fidelity in healthy ageing and risk for cognitive decline

H Gellersen - 2022 - repository.cam.ac.uk
Memory decline is characteristic of cognitive ageing and it has been suggested that one
important factor underpinning the magnitude of age deficits is a reduction in the fidelity or …

Demands on perceptual and mnemonic fidelity are a key determinant of age-related cognitive decline throughout the lifespan.

HM Gellersen, J McMaster, A Abdurahman… - Journal of …, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
Aging results in less detailed memories, reflecting reduced fidelity of remembered compared
to real-world representations. We tested whether poorer representational fidelity across …

[PDF][PDF] Aging impairs memory for perceptual, but not narrative

Memory declines over the course of healthy aging. However, memory is not a 5 monolith,
and draws from different kinds of representations. Historically, much of 6 our understanding …

[HTML][HTML] Executive function and high ambiguity perceptual discrimination contribute to individual differences in mnemonic discrimination in older adults

HM Gellersen, AN Trelle, RN Henson, JS Simons - Cognition, 2021 - Elsevier
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Healthy middle-aged adults have preserved mnemonic discrimination and integration, while showing no detectable memory benefits

G Samrani, A Lundquist, S Pudas - Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Declarative memory abilities change across adulthood. Semantic memory and
autobiographic episodic knowledge can remain stable or even increase from mid-to late …

Age differences in neural distinctiveness during memory encoding, retrieval, and reinstatement

C Pauley, M Kobelt, M Werkle-Bergner… - Cerebral …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Robust evidence points to mnemonic deficits in older adults related to dedifferentiated, ie
less distinct, neural responses during memory encoding. However, less is known about …

Sensory representations supporting memory specificity: Age effects on behavioral and neural discriminability

CR Bowman, JD Chamberlain… - Journal of …, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
Older adults' difficulty in distinguishing between old and new information contributes to
memory decline, which may occur because older adults are less likely than young adults to …

Contributions of representational distinctiveness and stability to memory performance and age differences

VR Sommer, MC Sander - Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
Long-standing theories of cognitive aging suggest that memory decline is associated with
age-related differences in the way information is neurally represented. Multivariate pattern …

Reduced fidelity of neural representation underlies episodic memory decline in normal aging

L Zheng, Z Gao, X Xiao, Z Ye, C Chen, G Xue - Cerebral Cortex, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Emerging studies have emphasized the importance of the fidelity of cortical representation in
forming enduring episodic memory. No study, however, has examined whether there are …

Greater loss of object than spatial mnemonic discrimination in aged adults

ZM Reagh, HD Ho, SL Leal, JA Noche, A Chun… - …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Previous studies across species have established that the aging process adversely affects
