Hemispheric specialization in selective attention and short-term memory: a fine-coarse model of left- and right-ear disadvantages. [PDF]
Serial short-term memory is impaired by irrelevant sound, particularly when the sound changes acoustically. This acoustic effect is larger when the sound is presented to the left compared to the right ear (a left-ear disadvantage).

Embodiment has highlighted the importance of sensory-motor components in cognition. Perception and memory are thus very tightly bound together, and episodic and semantic memories should rely on the same grounded memory traces.

The role of the frontal cortex in memory: an investigation of the Von Restorff effect [PDF]
Evidence from neuropsychology and neuroimaging indicate that the pre-frontal cortex (PFC) plays an important role in human memory. Although frontal patients are able to form new memories, these memories appear qualitatively different from those of ...

Decreased meta-memory is associated with early tauopathy in cognitively unimpaired older adults
The ability to accurately judge memory efficiency (meta-memory monitoring) for newly learned (episodic) information, is decreased in older adults and even worse in Alzheimer's disease (AD), whereas no differences have been found for semantic meta-memory.

Semantic Compression of Episodic Memories [PDF]
Storing knowledge of an agent's environment in the form of a probabilistic generative model has been established as a crucial ingredient in a multitude of cognitive tasks. Perception has been formalised as probabilistic inference over the state of latent

The pivotal role of semantic memory in remembering the past and imagining the future
Episodic memory refers to a complex and multifaceted process which enables the retrieval of richly detailed evocative memories from the past. In contrast, semantic memory is conceptualised as the retrieval of general conceptual knowledge divested of a ...

The philosophy of memory today and tomorrow: Editors' introduction [PDF]
This introductory chapter provides an overview of the chapters making up the book, which are grouped into six sections: challenges and alternatives to the causal theory of memory; activity and passivity in remembering; the affective dimension of memory ...

Explaining semantic short-term memory deficits:evidence for the critical role of semantic control [PDF]
Patients with apparently selective short-term memory (STM) deficits for semantic information have played an important role in developing multi-store theories of STM and challenge the idea that verbal STM is supported by maintaining activation in the ...

Gait recognition and understanding based on hierarchical temporal memory using 3D gait semantic folding [PDF]
Gait recognition and understanding systems have shown a wide-ranging application prospect. However, their use of unstructured data from image and video has affected their performance, e.g., they are easily influenced by multi-views, occlusion, clothes ...

Episodic and Semantic Memory Contribute to Familiar and Novel Episodic Future Thinking
Increasing evidence indicates that episodic future thinking (EFT) relies on both episodic and semantic memory; however, event familiarity may importantly affect the extent to which episodic and semantic memory contribute to EFT. To test this possibility,
