Considerable research indicates that learners are sensitive to probabilistic structure in
laboratory studies of artificial language learning. However, the artificial and simplified nature …

Abstract Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, while on the run, purportedly burned two
million dollars in banknotes to keep his daughter warm. A stark reminder that, in life …

More than 50 years of research have led to the general agreement that the hippocampus
contributes to memory, but there has been a major schism among theories of hippocampal …

The hippocampus is involved in the learning and representation of temporal statistics, but
little is understood about the kinds of statistics it can uncover. Prior studies have tested …

Abstract Models of predictive coding frame perception as a generative process in which
expectations constrain sensory representations. These models account for expectations …

Pregnancy is a period of profound hormonal and physiological changes experienced by
millions of women annually, yet the neural changes unfolding in the maternal brain …

The hippocampus plays a critical role in spatial and episodic memory. Mechanistic models
predict that hippocampal subfields have computational specializations that differentially …

Concepts organize the relationship among individual stimuli or events by highlighting
shared features. Often, new goals require updating conceptual knowledge to reflect …

Attention influences what is later remembered, but little is known about how this occurs in
the brain. We hypothesized that behavioral goals modulate the attentional state of the …

Prevailing theories of hippocampal function argue that memories are rapidly encoded by
non-overlapping memory traces. Concurrently, the hippocampus has been argued to …
