Computational research suggests that semantic memory, operationalized as semantic
memory networks, undergoes age-related changes. Previous work suggests that concepts in …

We are often presented with more information than we can remember, and we must
selectively focus on the most valuable information to maximize memory utility. Most tests of …

The factors that trigger lapses of attention (eg, mind-wandering) during new learning remain
unclear. The present study investigated whether the likelihood of experiencing an attentional …

Age-related deficits in associative episodic memory have been widely reported, but recent
research suggests that some of these deficits occur for highly specific but not gist …

People are generally able to selectively attend and remember high-value over low-value
information. Here, we investigated whether young and older adults would display typical …

In psychology, authors have shined a light on a lack of ethnic/racial and cultural diversity in
sampling and scholarship. These issues pertain also to the study of aging and lifespan …

We examined potentially selective offloading decisions when the external store has a limited
capacity and how the surprising unavailability of offloaded information influences …

Changing how an issue is framed can influence both decision-making and metacognition,
but framing a memory task in terms of gains and losses could also impact how learners …

Memory function declines in normal aging, in a relatively continuous fashion following
middle-age. The effect of aging on decision-making is less well-understood, with seemingly …

How rapidly can we encode the specifics versus the gist of episodic memories? Competing
theories have opposing answers, but empirical tests are based primarily on tasks of item …
