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 …

Neural distinctiveness and reinstatement of hippocampal representations support unitization for associations

S Ricupero, CM Carpenter, AC Steinkrauss, CR Gerver… - Brain research, 2023 - Elsevier
