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 …

Emotional processing and episodic memory.
… events is associated with particular features of episodic and autobiographical memory formation. It is inspired by Rachman’s (1980, 2001) formulation of emotional processing, and his subsequent proposals to explore the general mechanisms by which emotional disruptions are overcome. The specific …

Factors Affecting Episodic Memory Development
… present thesis investigated the development of episodic memory through middle and late childhood, and how individual differences in health and lifestyle impact this development. The first study (Chapter 2) explored the developmental patterns of episodic memory including individual content …

Episodic Memory Precision and Reality Monitoring
The current thesis sought to investigate whether or not our ability to keep track of reality known as ‘reality monitoring’ may depend on the qualitative characteristics of underlying mnemonic representations, such as the precision with which we remember details of past experiences (Johnson et al., …

Neurobiological mechanisms underlying episodic memory retrieval
Memory is a central function of the brain and is essential to everyday life. Memory disorders range from those of memory transience, such as Alzheimer's disease, to those of memory persistence, such as post-traumatic stress disorder. To treat memory disorders, a thorough understanding of memory …

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 …

Episodic Memory during Middle Childhood: Active vs. Passive Processing
Episodic memory refers to context based explicit memory and shows vast improvements during middle childhood. In this study, episodic encoding was manipulated using stimuli that were hypothesized to require active or passive processing. Nine to eleven-year-old children were presented with a recall …

Eye-movement investigation of relational binding in episodic memory
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2024-09-16 without embargo terms

The Contribution of Semantic Structure to Retrieval From Episodic Memory.
In his classic "7, plus or minus 2" paper, Miller (1956) introduced a term to describe what he thought people do when trying to memorize lists of words or numbers. He suggested that people "chunk" small bits of information into larger sets which bear some internal order or whose members share …

Vascular Risk, Functional Connectivity, and Episodic Memory in Older Adults
… self-referential thought and autobiographical memory. DMN regions include the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, inferior parietal lobe, hippocampus, and the primary "hub" of this network, the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC). For reasons yet unknown, DMN FC declines in aging, which is associated …

Emotional Memory: The Effects of Temporal Pressure on Episodic Memory
… neutral stimulus. This results in more accurate memory for negative images presented in mixed lists. However, in slow presentation rates, binding occurs equally for all items. Therefor, no such advantage is predicted comparing images presented in lists of the same valence. This study examined the …

Understanding Episodic Memory in Animals and Humans: A Methodological Approach.
… two different methodological approaches to episodic memory, namely episodic memory as demonstrated in humans and episodic-like memory as demonstrated in animals. The results of Chapter 2 were successful in demonstrating episodic-like memory in the rat using recollection alone, despite the …

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; …

Long -term episodic memory in children with Attention -Deficit /Hyperactivity Disorder
… that diagnosed children show considerable memory deficits. The majority of tasks that have supported such deficits have focused on working memory and school/semantic-related abilities. Although there is a small body of literature related to long-term memory in children with ADHD, no studies …

The Roles of Individual Differences and Working Memory in Episodic Memory
… an individual difference variable, and working memory (WM) 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 …

Neurogenesis Dependent Learning And Implications For Episodic Memory In Rodent Models.
… research into the hippocampus as it relates to episodic memory, neurogenesis, and their potential functional intersection. Chapter 2 presents a novel model for episodic-like memory in rats, and relates it to previous models and its potential application for human episodic memory. In chapter 3, …

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 …

Evaluating the Effects of Mindfulness Practice on Attentional Control and Episodic Memory
… attentional control and potential spillovers to episodic memory. Experiment 1 gauged the relationship between the frequency of practice and levels of mindfulness in day-to-day life to a battery of attentional control and episodic memory tasks. Experiment 2 evaluated the effects of a brief …
