Our brains constantly generate predictions about the environment based on prior
knowledge. Many of the events we experience are consistent with these predictions, while …

Pattern separation, or the process by which highly similar stimuli or experiences in memory
are represented by non-overlapping neural ensembles, has typically been ascribed to …

The multiple-memory-systems framework—that distinct types of memory are supported by
distinct brain systems—has guided learning and memory research for decades. However …

Although memory has long been recognized as a generative process, neural research of
memory in recent decades has been predominantly influenced by Tulving's “mental time …

When we remember a city that we have visited, we retrieve places related to finding our goal
but also non-target locations within this environment. Yet, understanding how the human …

The brain is highly segregated. Multiple mechanisms ensure that different types of memories
are processed independently. Nonetheless, information leaks out across these memory …

The memory benefit that arises from distributing learning over time rather than in
consecutive sessions is one of the most robust effects in cognitive psychology. While prior …

Normal aging is typically associated with declines in navigation and spatial memory abilities.
However, increased interindividual variability in performance across various …

Stress can powerfully influence episodic memory, often enhancing memory encoding for
emotionally salient information. These stress-induced memory enhancements stand at odds …

Everyday life is composed of events organized by changes in contexts, with each event
containing an unfolding sequence of occurrences. A major challenge facing our memory …
