A short cut to the past: Cueing via concrete objects improves autobiographical memory retrieval in Alzheimer’s disease patients

Neuropsychologia

Published in: Neuropsychologia, Volume 110, February 2018, 113-122 Abstract “Older adults diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have difficulties accessing autobiographical memories. However, this deficit tends to spare memories dated to earlier parts of their lives, and may partially reflect retrieval deficits rather than complete memory loss. Introducing a novel paradigm, the present study examines whether autobiographical memory recall can […]

Task-related and resting-state fMRI identify distinct networks that preferentially support remembering the past and imagining the future

Neuropsychologia

Published in: Neuropsychologia, Volume 110, February 2018, 180-189 Abstract “The relation between episodic memory and episodic future thought (EFT) remains an active target of research. A growing literature suggests that similar cognitive processes and neural substrates tend to support these acts. However, direct comparisons of whole-brain activity reveal clear differences, with numerous regions more active when engaging in

The precuneus and hippocampus contribute to individual differences in the unfolding of spatial representations during episodic autobiographical memory

Neuropsychologia

Published in: Neuropsychology, Volume 110, February 2018, 123-133 Abstract “Spatial information is a central aspect of episodic autobiographical memory(EAM). Space-based theories of memory, including cognitive map and scene construction models, posit that spatial reinstatement is a required process during early event recall. Spatial information can be represented from both allocentric (third-person) and egocentric (first-person) perspectives during EAM, with egocentric

The costs of target prioritization and the external requirements for using a recall-to-reject strategy in memory exclusion tasks: a meta-analysis

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review

Published in: Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, Volume 24, Issue 6, December 2017, 1844-1855 Abstract “In event-related potential (ERP) studies, the left-parietal old/new effect is commonly considered as a neural correlate of recollection. In memory exclusion tasks, the effect is usually observed when the targeted information is identified, but it is not necessarily present when studied items

Evolution of autobiographical memory impairments in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia – A longitudinal neuroimaging study

Neuropsychologia

Published in: Neuropsychologia, Volume 110, February 2018, 14-25 Abstract “Compromised autobiographical memory (ABM) retrieval is well established in dementia, attributable to degeneration of a core memory brain network. It remains unclear, however, how the progressive spread of atrophy with advancing disease severity impacts ABM retrieval across life epochs. To this end, we conducted a longitudinal study of recent and remote ABM
