Failure to reactivate salient episodic information during indirect and direct tests of memory retrieval

Several fMRI and EEG studies have demonstrated that successful episodic retrieval is accompanied by the reactivation of cortical regions that were active during encoding. These findings are consistent with influential models of episodic memory that …

The effects of age on the neural correlates of recollection success, recollection-related cortical reinstatement, and post-retrieval monitoring

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to investigate whether age-related differences in episodic memory performance are accompanied by a reduction in the specificity of recollected information. We addressed this question by comparing …

Electrophysiological evidence for strategically orienting retrieval toward the specific age of a memory

For over a century, memory researchers have extensively studied the differences between retrieving memories that were encoded in the remote past as opposed to recently. Although this work has largely focused on the changes that these memory traces …

Pattern reactivation co-varies with activity in the core recollection network during source memory

Neuroimaging studies of episodic memory have consistently demonstrated that memory retrieval involves reactivating patterns of neural activity that were present during encoding, and these effects are thought to reflect the qualitative retrieval …

Episodic retrieval involves early and sustained effects of reactivating information from encoding

Several fMRI studies have shown a correspondence between the brain regions activated during encoding and retrieval, consistent with the view that memory retrieval involves hippocampally-mediated reinstatement of cortical activity. With the limited …

Neural reinstatement and the amount of information recollected

Recent functional neuroimaging studies have attempted to understand the cognitive and neural bases of episodic memory retrieval, as well as the extent to which different retrieval judgments reflect qualitative as opposed to continuous changes in …

Recollection, familiarity, and content-sensitivity in lateral parietal cortex: A high-resolution fMRI study

Numerous studies have identified brain regions where activity is consistently correlated with the retrieval (recollection) of qualitative episodic information. This ‘core recollection network’ can be contrasted with regions where activity differs …

Item memory, context memory and the hippocampus: fMRI evidence

Dual-process models of recognition memory distinguish between the retrieval of qualitative information about a prior event (recollection), and judgments of prior occurrence based on an acontextual sense of familiarity. fMRI studies investigating the …

The relationship between the right frontal old/new ERP effect and post-retrieval monitoring: specific or non-specific?

Post-retrieval processes are thought to be engaged when the outcome of an attempt to retrieve information from long-term memory must be monitored or evaluated. Previous research employing event-related potentials (ERPs) has implicated a specific ERP …

Recollection and the reinstatement of encoding-related cortical activity

The neural correlates of episodic memory retrieval (``recollection'') differ according to the type of information contained in the recollected episode. Such content-specific recollection effects have been hypothesized to reflect the reinstatement of …
