The attentional spatial-numerical association of response codes (Att-SNARC) effect (Fischer, Castel, Dodd, & Pratt, 2003)—the finding that participants are quicker to detect left-side targets when the preceded by small numbers and right-side they large numbers—has been used as evidence for embodied number representations support strong claims about link between space (e.g., a mental line). We attempted replicate Experiment 2 Fischer et al. collecting data from 1,105 at 17 labs. Across...
The characterization of the relationship between predictions and one-shot episodic encoding poses an important challenge for memory research. On one hand, events that are compatible with our previous knowledge thought to be remembered better than incompatible ones. other unexpected situations, by virtue their novelty, known cause enhanced learning. Several theoretical accounts try solve this apparent paradox conceptualizing prediction error (PE) as a continuum ranging from low PE (for...
Visual inputs during natural perception are highly ambiguous: objects frequently occluded, lighting conditions vary, and object identification depends significantly on prior experiences. However, why do certain images remain unidentifiable while others can be recognized immediately, what visual features drive subjective clarification? To address these critical questions, we developed a unique dataset of 1,854 ambiguous collected more than 100,000 participant ratings evaluating their...
Efficient processing of the visual environment necessitates integration incoming sensory evidence with concurrent contextual inputs and mnemonic content from our past experiences. To examine how this takes place in brain, we isolated different types feedback signals neural patterns non-stimulated areas early cortex humans (i.e., V1 V2). Using multivariate pattern analysis, showed that both time-distant information, coexist V2 as signals. In addition, found extent to which information is...
Recent research on the dynamics between attentional and memory processes have outlined idea that applying control in a conflicting situation directly leads to enhanced episodic of processed information. However, spite small subset studies supporting this claim, majority evidence field seems support opposite pattern. In study, we used face-word Stroop task enforce different modes either from trial or an item-specific manner. Both manipulations congruency proved be effective making...
The predictive processing framework posits that brain function is essentially predictive. Internal models facilitate mental time travel by predicting future states against which incoming information compared. difference between predicted and actual states, the prediction error (PE), signals novel information. However, constrains of further use PE are not fully understood: In particular, with respect to how influence episodic memories across lifespan. We examine relationship memory in...
Perception is an intricate interplay between feedforward visual input and internally generated feedback signals that comprise concurrent contextual time-distant mnemonic (episodic semantic) information. Yet, unresolved question how the composition of changes across lifespan to what extent undergo age-related dedifferentiation, i.e., a decline in neural specificity. Previous research on this topic has focused perceptual representation episodic memory reinstatement, suggesting reduced fidelity...
Children showed less robust memory consolidation across short and long delay compared to young adults.From delay, children show differential neural upregulation for remote versus recent adults.Over time, both adults reduced scene-specific reinstatement of patterns.Children relied more on gist-like in anterior hippocampal medial prefrontal brain regions.Memory tends be childhood than adulthood. However, little is known about the corresponding functional differences developing that may...
The predictive processing framework posits that one of the main functions brain is to anticipate incoming information. Internal models facilitate interactions with world by predicting future states against which actual evidence compared. difference between predicted and states, prediction error (PE), signals novel However, how PE affects cognitive downstream not fully understood: such aspect pertains influences episodic memories, whether those effect on memory differ across lifespan. We...
Visual processes are assumed to be affected by scene-object semantics throughout the stream of processing, from earliest conscious object detection later stages identification and memory encoding. However, very few studies have jointly explored these in a unified setting. In this study, we build upon change task assess influence semantic congruity between scenes objects across three processing stages, as indexed through measures detection, identification, delayed recognition. Across four...
Researchers have suggested that the recognition memory effects resulting from two separate attentional manipulations-attentional boost and perceptual degradation-may share a common cause; namely transient up-regulation of attention at time encoding leads to enhanced performance retrieval. Prior research has demonstrated inducing similar shifts simultaneously produces redundant in memory. In present study, we sought evaluate combined influence degradation on If these cause, then ought observe...

Predictive processing accounts propose that our brain constantly tries to match top-down internal representations with bottom-up incoming information from the environment. Predictions can lead prediction errors of varying degrees depending on extent which encountered in environment conforms prior expectations. Theoretical and computational models assume have beneficial effects learning memory. However, while there is strong evidence error learning, relatively less available regarding its...
Memory consolidation tends to be less robust in childhood than adulthood. However, little is known about the corresponding functional differences developing brain that may underlie age-related retention of memories over time. This study examined system-level memory object-scene associations after learning (immediate delay), one night sleep (short as well two weeks (long delay) 5-to-7-year-old children (n = 49) and young adults 39), a reference group with mature systems. Particularly, we...
