Novel and unexpected stimuli are often prioritised in memory, given their inherent salience.
Nevertheless, not all forms of novelty show such an enhancement effect. Here, we discuss …

Organizing the continuous flow of experiences into meaningful events is a crucial
prerequisite for episodic memory. Prediction error and event segmentation both play …

Recent human behavioral and neuroimaging results suggest that people are selective in
when they encode and retrieve episodic memories. To explain these findings, we trained a …

Neurobiological and psychological models of learning emphasize the importance of
prediction errors (surprises) for memory formation. This relationship has been shown for …

Whether a novel stimulus is expected or unexpected may have implications for the kind of
ensuing encoding and the type of subsequent memory. Pupil response was used in the …

When should episodic memories be stored and retrieved to support event understanding?
Traditional list-learning memory experiments make it obvious when to store and retrieve …

Much of the evidence suggesting that rewards improve memory performance has focused
on how explicit rewards facilitate encoding of simplistic stimuli. To expand beyond this focus …

Neurobiological and psychological models of learning emphasize the importance of
prediction errors (surprises) for memory formation. These effects have focused on memory …

In rule-plus-exception category learning, we must generalize across stimuli to abstract a
category rule while also detecting and remembering irregular exceptions. Existing work has …

For educators to be effective, they must understand what pre-requisite knowledge students
truly have when they enter the classroom rather than only presuming that knowledge exists …
