The hippocampus is critical for learning and memory, relying in part on pattern separation
processes supported by the dentate gyrus (DG) to prevent interference from overlapping …

Recognizing a stimulus as previously encountered is a crucial everyday life skill and a
critical task motivating theoretical development in models of human memory. Although there …

Abstract Using the Mnemonic Similarity Task (MST), we have demonstrated an age-related
impairment in lure discrimination, or the ability to recognize an item as distinct from one that …

Although older adults often show reduced episodic memory accuracy, their ratings of the
subjective vividness of their memories often equal or even exceed those of young adults …

Both recognition of familiar objects and pattern separation, a process that orthogonalises
overlapping events, are critical for effective memory. Evidence is emerging that human …

It is well established that aging is associated with declines in episodic memory. In recent
years, an emphasis has emerged on the development of behavioral tasks and the …

To systematically review the characteristics, validity and outcome measures of tasks that
have been described in the literature as assessing pattern separation and pattern …

Older adults (OAs) are more likely to falsely recognize novel events than young adults, and
recent behavioral and neuroimaging evidence points to a reduced ability to distinguish …

Age-related source memory deficits result, in part, because young and older adults attend to
different information. We asked whether focusing young and older adults 'attention on …

Episodic memory loss is one of the hallmarks of age-related cognitive decline and a major
symptom of Alzheimer's disease. The persistence and strength of memories is determined …
