"I remember when you taught me that!" Developmental and gender differences in children's episodic memories of learning events during the early school years
… young children's ability to accurately recall episodic (i.e., specific-one-moment-in-time) memories of learning events and whether this ability was related to another metacognitive skill, source monitoring. Further, the study investigated possible gender differences in the ability to recall …

Product attachment in the context of gender differentiation and marital relationships
… those objects with a shared value, reflecting episodic memories concerning their marriage, were highlighted. These findings led to the construction of a tentative explanatory model to expand product attachment theory in the context of married couples. <br/><br/>Underpinned by this model, action …

The effect of nucleus reuniens inactivation on neocortical K-complex and hippocampal sharp wave-ripple correlations
… with neocortical memory traces to convert episodic memories to semantic knowledge and is believed to rely on coordinated interactions between sharp wave-ripples (SPWRs) and K-complexes (KCs). The aim of my study was to investigate whether inactivation of reuniens affects SPWR and KC …

The Roles of Individual Differences and Working Memory in Episodic Memory
… have shown their independent associations with episodic memory. The current study aimed to check for the associations between these three factors, in addition to assessing the role of strength of handedness in simple and complex WM tasks (measured by digit span and letter number sequencing …

Behavioral and linguistic markers of craving
… In contrast, hippocampal-dependent episodic memories are known to strengthen over time through replay and consolidation, offering a potential mechanism for sustaining substance-related memories and craving. However, the role of episodic memory in craving has been largely …

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Neural Activity During Human Episodic Memory Encoding and Retrieval
… possess our own personal mental time machine: episodic memory. Through episodic memory, we transport ourselves back in time to re-live experiences from our past. This allows us to reflect on our own self-knowledge, effectively placing ourselves in context of our lives. This dissertation …

Electrophysiological studies of identifying and modulating the preparatory strategic processes involved in episodic memory retrieval
Successful retrieval of episodic memories has been shown to depend on the overlap between the processes engaged during encoding and those re-engaged during retrieval. The ability to strategically adapt cue processing to maximize this overlap, sometimes referred to as “retrieval orientation”, has …

Vowel production variation in college students based on social integration
… of individual experiences as a collection of episodic memories known as exemplars, which form “exemplar clouds” (Drager & Kirtley, 2016). Originally used to model phonetic classification in perception, the exemplar theory has been extended to speech production with evidence that the …

The temporal and bilateral structure of hippocampal replay
… for the formation, but not storage, of long-term episodic memories. During memory formation, however, the hippocampus is not a lone actor; rather it works in concert with various structures across the brain. The mechanisms by which diverse populations of cells are coordinated for the formation of …

Deep Emotion Analysis of Personal Narratives
… the association between mood and recollection of episodic memories. We find that ECs capture implicit emotion information through entities and events whereas the valence prediction relies on explicit emotion words such as happy, cried, and angry. The cues for identifying the ECs and their valence …

Content and organizational differences between autobiographical and semantic memories
… between semantic and autobiographical memories of the same item. In a review of the problem area [Part 1] it was shown that the semantic/episodic distinction, SED, [Tulving 1972, 1983] had not been unequivocally supported by research and was open to a number of theoretical criticisms. A …

Weaving the Past into an Imagined Future: Episodic Future Thinking Relies on Working Memory as a Cognitive Interface with Episodic Memory
… cognitive and neuroimaging evidence reveals that episodic memory and episodic future thinking (EFT) share component processes. Much less is known about the relationship between EFT and working memory (WM) processes. We hypothesized that WM capacity might provide a crucial componential cognitive …

Neural Correlates of Item and Item-Context Memory Encoding
The neural correlates of the formation of episodic memories -- or memory for an item and its context -- have been studied using a functional neuroimaging procedure known as the 'subsequent memory procedure'. In this procedure, neural activity associated with later remembered versus later forgotten …

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 …

Event Typicality and Memory: Investigating How Prior Knowledge and Novelty Modulate Memory for Complex Events
… adults, allowing them to create and recall memories of daily events. Additionally, the perception and recall of these events is shaped by factors such as novelty and congruence with prior knowledge (typicality). Despite a long history of research, studies on the neural underpinnings of the …

Individuals With Amnesia are not Stuck in Time: Evidence From Risky Decision-Making, Intertemporal Choice, and Scaffolded Narratives
… ability to richly recollect autobiographical episodic memories and imagine future experiences. In Experiment 2, I use two behavioural economics tasks (a risky decision-making task and an intertemporal choice task) to examine whether amnesic cases judgment and decision-making reflects proneness …

Modeling spatial mapping, memory and their underlying mechanisms in the hippocampal complex
… brain regions as those implicated in sequential episodic memories. Research on human spatial mapping has greatly advanced our understanding of how humans form these mental representations, but leaves us some ways from a complete understanding. In particular, it has been difficult to understand …

EXAMINING THE INFLUENCE OF TIME AND REPETITION ON RECENT AND REMOTE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMORY RETRIEVAL USING fMRI

A Closer Look at Classical Measurement, an Algorithm for Deliberation in Rodents, and a Conjecture on Intertemporal Choice
… the formation and strengthening of episodic memories, and a need for two modes of operation—online and offline. The two parts described above are the main content of this thesis. Part I falls within the purview of classical theoretical physics, while Part II falls in that of …

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 …
