Novel ways to measure future-oriented cognition: Using parent-report measures and open-ended responses to explore young children’s future thinking development
… in daily life including, saving, prospective memory, episodic foresight, planning, and delay of gratification. These future thinking abilities are supported by memory systems (e.g., semantic, episodic), as well as constructive processes, self-projection, and executive functions. Research …

MEMORY AND DEFAULT NETWORK ACTIVATION AS A FUNCTION OF APOE GENOTYPE
… assess the behavioral and neural correlates of Episodic Memory as a function of the APOE genotype in a healthy young adult sample. To accomplish this, 98 subjects completed behavioral tasks assessing visual memory, working memory, episodic memory, and attention. Subjects also completed …

Molecular Underpinnings of Human Brain Evolution and Cognition at Cellular Resolution
The second part of Chapter 1 is modified from a commissioned book chapter (accepted for publication) titled "Differences in brain gene expression between humans and primates", which has been accepted for publication as a chapter in the book titled "The evolutionary roots of human brain diseases". …

Contrasting directed forgetting and value directed memory
… cues and directed forgetting instructions affect memory. Object-scene pairings were assigned positive, zero, and negative values, and memory was assessed with associative recognition. In Experiment 1, the encoding strategy was controlled, whereas in Experiment 2, it was left open to participants. …

Process estimates of recollection and familiarity in working memory and episodic memory
Working memory is consistently shown to be related to episodic memory, but the underlying processes that contribute to this relationship are poorly understood. The following dissertation outlines a study which investigated the relationship between working memory and episodic memory, with particular …

Towards a hybrid model of speech prosody
… in real time and is retained in implicit memory. This dissertation addresses language processing for speech prosody. This study consists of five perception experiments that test the representation of pitch accents in memory, and directly compares memory for pitch accents to memory for …

AI Interfaces for Augmenting Episodic Memory
Episodic memory, the memory of personal experiences, is a core component of human cognition. It functions within the neural substrate to store progress towards personal goals. Thus, it influences human behavior by enriching social interactions, forming a personal narrative, and facilitating …

Age Differences in Reward Anticipation and Memory
… research on item- and associative-recognition memory has demonstrated that older adults are deficient in forming associations between two unrelated stimuli. Although older adult performance on tests of item-recognition is similar to younger adult performance, older adults perform worse than …

A novel developmental rodent model to investigate the neural basis of episodic memory
Episodic memory is the recollection of unique autobiographical events, including rich detail of times, places and associated contextual information. In neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, episodic memory is greatly impaired. The ability to recall episodic memories is thought to …

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Studies Investigating the Role of the DLPFC in Memory and Metamemory
<p>Metamemory, broadly defined as knowledge about one’s own memory, is thought to consist of two separate processes, monitoring, the ability to assess the contents of your own memory, and control, altering behavior in service of memory, that work together to aide in encoding and retrieval …

Effects of healthy ageing on the precision of episodic memory
Episodic memory decline is one of the hallmarks of human cognitive ageing, but our understanding of the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying this decline remains limited. In particular, it is unclear whether healthy ageing differentially affects distinct components of episodic memory retrieval; …

How does context variability affect representational pattern similarity to support subsequent item memory?
Episodic memories are neurally coded records of personally experienced events across a lifetime. These records are encoded via medial temporal lobe structures in the brain, including the hippocampus, and are commonly called "representations" or "memory traces". Existing studies indicate that …

Neural processes underpinning episodic memory
Episodic memory is the memory for our personal past experiences. Although numerous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies investigating its neural basis have revealed a consistent and distributed network of associated brain regions, surprisingly little is known about the contributions …

Binding von Objekt- und Lokalisationsinformationen im Arbeitsgedächtnis
Das simultane Memorieren von Objekten in Verbindung mit ihren Lokalisationen stellt eine komplexe Anforderung an das Arbeitsgedächtnis, da nicht nur diese beiden einzelnen Informationsdimensionen, sondern auch ihre jeweiligen Zuordnungen korrekt gespeichert werden müssen. Diese Annahme wird auch …
