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

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 …

While semantic and episodic memory have been shown to influence each other, uncertainty
remains as to how this interplay occurs. We introduce a behavioral representational …

An adaptive memory system is one that allows us to both retrieve detailed memories as well
as generalize knowledge about our past, the latter termed memory generalization and is …

Newly formed memories are spontaneously reactivated during sleep, leading to their
strengthening. This reactivation process can be manipulated by reinstating learning‐related …

Remembering when events occur in time is fundamental to episodic memory. Yet, many
experiences repeat over time creating the potential for interference when attempting to recall …

Semantic similarity between stimuli can lead to false memories and can also potentially
cause retroactive interference (RI) for veridical memories. Here, participants first learned …

Social semantic memory guides many aspects of behavior. Individuals rely on acquired and
inferred knowledge about personal characteristics and group membership to predict the …

Lapses in attention can negatively impact later memory of an experience. Attention and
encoding resources are thought to decline as more experiences are encountered in …

Learning stimulus–response associations helps animals to adjust to changing
environments. Sequentially learned associations may interact with each other, either …
