Memory and reward-based learning: A value-directed remembering perspective

BJ Knowlton, AD Castel - Annual review of psychology, 2022 - annualreviews.org
The ability to prioritize valuable information is critical for the efficient use of memory in daily
life. When information is important, we engage more effective encoding mechanisms that …

Pupillometry

S Sirois, J Brisson - Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Cognitive …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Pupillometry is the study of changes in the diameter of the pupil as a function of cognitive
processing. This review paper provides a brief historical overview of the study of …

Locus coeruleus activity strengthens prioritized memories under arousal

DV Clewett, R Huang, R Velasco, TH Lee… - Journal of …, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
Recent models posit that bursts of locus ceruleus (LC) activity amplify neural gain such that
limited attention and encoding resources focus even more on prioritized mental …

Pupil dilation dynamics track attention to high-level information

OE Kang, KE Huffer, TP Wheatley - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
It has long been thought that the eyes index the inner workings of the mind. Consistent with
this intuition, empirical research has demonstrated that pupils dilate as a consequence of …

Eye pupil signals information gain

A Zénon - Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In conditions of constant illumination, the eye pupil diameter indexes the modulation of
arousal state and responds to a large breadth of cognitive processes, including mental effort …

A robust machine learning based framework for the automated detection of ADHD using pupillometric biomarkers and time series analysis

W Das, S Khanna - Scientific reports, 2021 - nature.com
Accurate and efficient detection of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is critical to
ensure proper treatment for affected individuals. Current clinical examinations, however, are …

A closer look at cognitive control: Differences in resource allocation during updating, inhibition and switching as revealed by pupillometry

EWM Rondeel, H Van Steenbergen… - Frontiers in human …, 2015 - frontiersin.org

measuring updating (2-Back task), inhibition (Stroop task) and switching (Number Switch …

Mind-wandering when studying valuable information: The roles of age, dispositional traits, and contextual factors.

AL Miller, AD Castel - Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
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 …

Value-based modulation of memory encoding involves strategic engagement of fronto-temporal semantic processing regions

MS Cohen, J Rissman, NA Suthana, AD Castel… - Cognitive, Affective, & …, 2014 - Springer
A number of prior fMRI studies have focused on the ways in which the midbrain

Pupillometry tracks fluctuations in working memory performance

MK Robison, N Unsworth - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2019 - Springer
In 3 experiments, we examined fluctuations in working memory (WM) performance and
associated changes in pretrial and task-evoked pupil diameter. Additionally, we examined …
