We propose that older adults' ability to retrieve episodic autobiographical events, although
often viewed through a lens of decline, reveals much about what is preserved and prioritized …

Much of the rich internal world constructed by humans is derived from, and experienced
through, visual mental imagery. Despite growing appreciation of visual exploration in …

Though researchers working on congenital aphantasia (henceforth “aphantasia”) agree that
this condition involves an impairment in the ability to voluntarily generate visual imagery …

The distinction between episodic and semantic memory, proposed by Endel Tulving in 1972,
remains a key concept in contemporary Cognitive Neuroscience. Here we review how this …

Age-related episodic memory decline is characterized by striking heterogeneity across
individuals. Hippocampal pattern completion is a fundamental process supporting episodic …

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 …

Age-related reductions in neural selectivity have been linked to cognitive decline. We
examined whether age differences in the strength of retrieval-related cortical reinstatement …

Recent research suggests that episodic memory is associated with systematic differences in
the localization of neural activity observed during memory encoding and retrieval. The …

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 …

There are individual differences in the phenomenological re-experiencing of
autobiographical memories. We examine whether sense of purpose in life and cognitive …
