We provide a comprehensive review describing research on the qualitative representational
nature of older adults' episodic memories. Our review considers several broad theoretical …

Working memory is an ensemble of components that temporarily hold information in a
heightened state of availability for use in ongoing information processing. Working memory …

Theories of episodic memory posit that more attentional resources are needed for encoding
specific compared to gist representations. This position has been challenged by recent …

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 …

Developmental reversals are puzzling situations in which cognitive development seems to
be devolving rather than evolving because reasoning and memory become more illogical …

Associative binding between components of an episode is vulnerable to forgetting across
time. We investigated whether these forgetting effects on inter-item associative memory …

This study compares semantic and phonological interference vulnerability across the full
range of learning processes. Method: 43 controls aged 61–88 underwent a …

Limitations in one's capacity to encode information in working memory (WM) constrain later
access to that information in long-term memory (LTM). The present study examined whether …

As we age into older adulthood, many aspects of our cognitive functioning change, some for
the better (eg vocabulary, general knowledge; Nyberg et al., 1996), others for the worse (eg …

La recherche et l'identification de marqueurs cognitifs spécifiques survenant précocement
dans l'évolution clinique de la démence de type Alzheimer (DTA) représente toujours à ce …
