▼ “Despite the fact that memory in people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has been researched for over fifty years, there has been very little in the way of attempts to synthesize or codify the findings” (Boucher & Bowler, 2008, p. xv). It is the intent of this thesis to address this need specifically for episodic memory function in individuals with autism or Asperger’s syndrome. A scoping review was conducted on episodic memory function in this population and the findings are used to: (1) produce an episodic memory profile for individuals with autism or Asperger’s syndrome; and (2) identify gaps in the existing literature for future areas of study. The framework for the search criteria was based on Lind and Bowler’s (2008) claim of development of episodic memory being dependent on three cognitive abilities: (1) concept of self; (2) meta-representation; and (3) temporal cognition. Implications for teaching practice were discussed in light of the findings.

▼ The aim of this study was to further explore the basic mechanisms of the
episodic memory search process. This included looking at the content of what was encoded and retrieved and the processes behind this encoding and retrieval. Some theories in the literature suggest that the LTM is more gist-based as item-specific information is lost soon after encoding, however, other theories have demonstrated that gist-based false recognition occurs because people are not retrieving the item-specific information effectively. The transfer appropriate processing theory explains that to successfully recall required information, retrieval processes need to match those of encoding. Jacoby and colleagues describe a retrieval process that involves constraining the
memory search in such a way to re-enter the encoding context in order to retrieve the sought-for information. Using their
memory-for-foils paradigm, this study investigates source-constrained retrieval using pictorial stimuli. It was hypothesised that for accurate recollection in phase 3, the retrieval search process needed to match the processes that occurred during encoding and thus, as the recognition task in the third phase of this experiment is an item-specific task, more foils that were encoded in the item-specific context, rather than the gist-based context, will be recollected. The findings show a non-significant difference between the foils that were recollected, resulting in a null effect. A possible reason behind this is that the participants did not engage in gist-based processing in the conceptual condition effectively and so, all foils were being processed similarly regardless of the phase 2 condition. However, participants did illustrate that they could adjust their responses to the task requirements and there was evidence of some changing between gist-based and item-specific recollection. There was a significant difference in task-order effect which has also been found in a study by Koutstaal and Cavendish (2006) which should be explored in future research.

▼ Background. According to the reinstatement theory that stems from the transfer appropriate processing (TAP) and the encoding specificity principles,
episodic retrieval involves reactivation of processes and, therefore, of brain regions that were active during encoding. Hence, if two encoding conditions engage different cognitive operations, qualitative differences are expected also to be present at the retrieval phase. Functional neuroimaging applications have detected qualitative differences on the neural correlates of
episodic encoding as a result of deep (semantic) and shallow (phonological) processing conditions. Aims. To explore if there is a qualitative impact on the neural correlates of retrieval orientation and retrieval success when processing depth is manipulated (deep vs. shallow) during encoding. Methods. Sixteen young adults participated in the study (12 analysed). An event-related fMRI design was applied while the participants performed the recognition phase of a
memory task. Two retrieval conditions were included. This allowed to explore for processing depth effects after controlling for factors associated with the level of
memory performance. Regions of interest and exploratory whole brain analyses were applied. Results. Common retrieval success effects were detected in regions localised in the inferior parietal lobule and the middle temporal gyrus. Greater shallow retrieval success effects were detected in a region localised in the precuneus. Also, greater shallow retrieval orientation effects were observed in regions localised in the fusiform gyrus and the superior temporal gyrus. No regions with the reverse activation pattern (deep > shallow) where detected either for retrieval success or retrieval orientation. Conclusions. The findings suggest that processing depth manipulation during encoding has a qualitative impact on the neural correlates of retrieval orientation and retrieval success that is in accordance with the predictions of the TAP and the encoding specificity principles.

▼ Accurate
memory depends both on the ability to correctly endorse previously encountered information as old and correctly identify novel information as new. Behavioral
memory research has shown that similarity between old and new information makes novelty detection more difficult, leading to a greater number of novel items misidentified as old. However, the cognitive and neural processes subserving successful novelty detection are not well understood and have yet to be examined in the context of relatedness to old items. The present study used fMRI to investigate the neural basis of novelty detection when items were either related or unrelated to items presented at study. Results showed general novelty regions that included right anterior medial temporal lobe, left middle temporal gyrus, and right early visual cortex, suggesting increased encoding processes for novel items independent of item-relatedness. Related novelty was associated with a vast set of regions including bilateral early and late visual cortex, bilateral ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), and bilateral superior parietal cortex, indicating engagement of visual details, cognitive control, and top-down attention to support successful related novelty detection. Finally, unrelated novelty was associated with regions including bilateral inferior and middle temporal gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus, and bilateral inferior parietal cortex, indicating engagement of semantic and categorical processing and bottom-up attention to support unrelated novelty detection.

▼ Attention selects the information we remember, yet the specific mechanism by which attention influences our memory remains unclear. This investigation examined a novel interpretation of how attention and memory interact: whether semantic vs. perceptual attention biases the encoding of precise-integrated representations that constrain the detail of our memories. I present two studies that examine how semantic vs. perceptual attention to illustration features impacts representation. Participants attended to perceptual or semantic features at encoding, then performed a surprise memory test for the illustrations. Study 1 showed that perceptual attention led to precision from experiences with the attended feature. Study 2 examined if perceptual attention facilitated precision for the attended feature, or overall. Memories showed precision from perceptually similar experiences and integration with semantically similar experiences, irrespective of attention state. Further work is needed to determine whether mnemonic precision and integration is biased across semantic and perceptual attention tasks.

▼ From an adaptive perspective human memory ought to be strategically attuned towards information deemed to be of value according to nature's criterion; i.e. that which promotes individual survival and reproduction. The experiments in this thesis represent an interdisciplinary venture to merge cognitive psychology with social perception research in order to study how sociosexual pressures may have shaped women's episodic memory systems. A vast literature has validated sexual dimorphism as a cue by which women comparatively judge the value of potential mates in terms of their perceived biological and behavioural characteristics (e.g. heightened sexual dimorphism in men correlates with positive biological attributes but also negative behavioural traits). The first 5 experiments extend this work by focusing on the functional contribution women's episodic memory systems may play in constraining generalisations. Experiments 1 and 2 reveal a mnemonic bias in women's memory for contents of encounters with men who have (attractive) masculinised low vs. (less attractive) feminised high pitch. Experiment 3 finds a similar memory benefit for information associated either with masculinised or feminised men's faces, depending on whether women prefer masculinised or feminised characteristics in men. Data from Experiments 6 and 7 reveal further evidence of sociosexual adaptation in women's episodic memory. Memory appears to be biased towards remembering the location of women with feminised (highly attractive) facial features, i.e. high-value competitors for potential mates. While no sociosexual bias was found in women's location memory for attractive male faces, a sociosexual bias was present in women's location memory for men with attractive, low-pitch voices. Considered along with other recent adaptive memory research, the data in this thesis further erode the idea of episodic memory as a general purpose mechanism.

▼ Empirical evidence suggesting colour influences object recognition is mixed; leading to conclusions that colour may not always be represented in object memory. Positive evidence for the representation of colour in episodic object memory is often complicated by the possibility that encoding specificity may be responsible for such observations. The current thesis examined whether colour is represented and makes an independent contribution of shape in episodic memory for familiar and novel objects, using a modified paradigm based on the typical retrieval- practice task (e.g., Anderson, Bjork, & Bjork, 1994). Participants studied pictures of objects, presented one at a time. In a subsequent practice phase, participants either performed Old/New recognition with a subset of the studied objects and their distractors (Experiments 1-7), or they rated a subset of the studied objects for attractiveness, complexity, and usefulness (Experiments 8 and 9). The critical manipulation concerned the nature of unpracticed objects. Unpracticed objects shared either shape only (Rp- Shape), colour only (Rp-Colour), both shape and colour (Rp-Both), or neither shape nor colour (Rp-Neither), with the practiced objects. Interference effects in memory between practiced and unpracticed items are revealed m the forgetting of related unpracticed items - retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF). If both shape and colour information is explicit in the object representations in episodic memory, then there would be significant RIF for unpracticed objects sharing shape only and colour only with the practiced objects. RIF was significant for Rp-Shape and Rp-Colour objects, suggesting that shape and colour are represented and independently drive competition effects in episodic object memory. The use of RIF to probe those representations improves on previous evidence, because it bypasses alternative encoding specificity explanations. The current work provides proof of concept for a modified retrieval-practice paradigm and establishes it as a tool to probe feature- based representations that do not easily lend themselves to retrieval practice.

▼ Memory of a complex event includes a multitude of features (e.g., objects, people, and actions) as well as the overall context (e.g., going to a picnic). To recall a complex event you must bind together these features and context into an episodic memory representation. This process of binding creates the subjective experience that certain details belong together. In two experiments, I examined whether particular types of information are bound together (object-to-object, object-to-context) within a memory representation of a scene and how attention may influence this process. Participants viewed a series of scenes and their attention was drawn to some objects (focus of attention), but not others. At test, they attempted to identify previously seen objects that were cued by objects-only, context-only, or a blurred context. Exp. 1 provided evidence of object-to-object binding when the objects used as cues and targets had been in the focus of attention at encoding. Exp. 2 revealed evidence of object-to-context binding, in that context cues enhanced memory for target objects whether or not the objects had been in the focus of attention at encoding. Altogether, these studies demonstrate the importance of attentional deployment in determining which components of an episodic memory will bind together.

▼ In several models of long-term memory it is assumed, either explicitly or implicitly, that different meanings of homonyms and even different senses of nonhomonyms have separate representations in long-term memory. While evidence has accrued, particularly from studies employing lexical decision tasks, to suggest that homonyms are multiply represented in semantic memory, claims for multiple representation of homonyms in episodic memory have tended to be made on a purely post hoc basis. The aim of the present research was to determine the manner in which homonyms are represented in episodic memory. A series of experiments were conducted in which either one or two meanings of homonyms were encoded at input. Retention of the homonyms or their biasing nouns was tested in a variety of retrieval contexts. The results obtained were consistent with a conceptualisation of episodic memory in which successive encodings of the same item are represented within the same memory trace which was established on the first occurrence of the item. When to different meanings of a homonym are encoded at input the encoded meanings will be represented within a single memory trace, with each different meaning being represented by an independent set of encoded semantic features. The generality of the framework for episodic memory which is developed is demonstrated through its interpretive application to a wide range of episodic memory phenomena.

▼ Detecting and recollecting change can counteract proactive interference, and, in some cases, lead to proactive facilitation. The Memory-for-Change account assumes that attention is involved in detecting change, but that has not been directly tested. The current study is the first to investigate the role of attention in change detection and its consequences for change recollection. Participants studied a list of word pairs comprised of four seamless blocks. In each block there were three sets of word pairs: one set repeated across all four blocks (A-B, A-B), one set repeated in the first three blocks and then had the same cue with a changed response in the fourth block (A-B, A-D), and one set was unique to each block (C-D). Attention during encoding was measured using a probe-caught procedure. Thought probes asking participants to indicate whether they were “on-task” or “off-task” appeared throughout the study phase. Participants then completed a cued recall test for responses from the fourth block. Participants were also asked to indicate if each pair changed during the study phase, and to report the earlier response if there was a change. Results showed that recollecting change was associated with higher memory accuracy at test compared to when change was not recollected. In both between and within subject analyses, “on-task” reports were associated with higher memory accuracy and change recollection compared to “off-task” reports. These findings implicate a critical role for attention in change detection and recollection, and recall performance under conditions that could lead to proactive interference.

▼ Episodic memory was originally defined by Tulving (1972) as the recall of a personal, past event, and where and when the event occurred. A series of experiments using an 8-arm radial maze were designed to identify whether rats could
discriminate what, when, and where. In each experiment, four forced locations were chosen to provide food (randomly chosen each trial; study phase). In Experiments 1, 2, and 3, three of these locations provided regular pellets, and one was randomly
selected to provide a unique food (chocolate pellets). In Experiment 4, two locations provided regular pellets, and two randomly chosen locations each provided 3 pellets of a different unique food type (e.g., grape or raspberry pellets). The rats were
then removed from the radial maze. After a short or long retention interval, the rats were returned to the maze, all 8 locations were available, and the locations that were not available in the study phase provided regular pellets (test phase). After the
long retention interval, the unique location(s) also provided food. The rats made more revisits to the unique locations after the long retention interval than after the short retention interval. In Experiment 1, chocolate was paired with lithium chloride
(LiCl) outside of regular testing. In subsequent trials using long retention intervals, the rats avoided the location that provided the devalued chocolate. This discrimination of what (food type), when (long vs. short retention interval), and where
(location of the randomly chosen arm for each trial) could have been based on (a) time of day, (b) failure to encode the location of the unique food, (c) an inherent strategy to revisit the chocolate location more after a long than after a short
retention interval, (d) switching from a win-stay to a win-shift strategy after the long retention interval, and/or (e) failure to specifically encode the content of the unique location. These possible alternative explanations were tested by controlling
for time of day, administering the LiCl during the retention interval (i.e., after encoding its location in the study phase), comparing revisits to the unique location(s) after the retention intervals during initial and terminal blocks of training, and
using two unique flavors and selectively devaluing one unique food type while leaving the other unaffected. These alternative explanations were rejected in subsequent experiments. The data support the hypothesis that rats have detailed knowledge of what,
when, and where, and provide evidence of episodic-like memory.

▼ The phenomenon of childhood amnesia has been well-documented over the last century; in general, adults are unable to recall events that occurred during their infancy and early childhood. Although researchers have proposed a wide variety of theoretical accounts, the specific mechanism responsible for childhood amnesia is unknown. One theory of childhood amnesia involves the development of
episodic memory. The term
episodic memory is used to refer to the recollection of personal, past experiences. Tulving (1972, 1983) originally coined the term; he argued that
episodic memory is
memory for information about the what, when, and where components of an event. More recently, Tulving (1985, 2002a, 2005) has also argued that
episodic memory is accompanied by autonoetic consciousness. The critical distinction of autonoetic consciousness is that the individual must remember something that happened to him or her in the past and not simply know that it happened. Tulving has argued that
episodic memory skill is a uniquely human ability. Within the context of childhood amnesia, Tulving has also argued that infants and children under the age of 4 years lack the ability to form
episodic memories, which renders them amnesic for events that took place during their infancy and early childhood. Although this theory has been widely accepted in the psychological literature, there is no empirical evidence to support the notion that young children are incapable of autonoetic consciousness and
episodic memory.
The experiments presented in this thesis were designed to examine
episodic memory in young children. In Experiment 1, a new Timeline procedure was developed to directly compare the age and density of the early memories reported by children, adolescents, and adults. Overall, the proportion of memories reported before the age of 3 years was greater for the children and adolescents relative to the adults. In addition, the single earliest
memory reported by children and adolescents was younger than that reported by adults. Importantly, regardless of the age of the rememberer, participants’ early memories had the same
episodic and autonoetic characteristics.
Experiments 2 and 3 involved a prospective design that provided the opportunity to eliminate alternative interpretations of the results of Experiment 1. Young children were tested using an operant train procedure originally developed by Rovee-Collier. Children’s verbal recall of the event was assessed after a 24-hour delay (Experiment 2) and after a 1-year delay (Experiment 3). Irrespective of the delay, children reported a large amount of information about the event. In addition, after both delays, children provided a significant amount of autonoetic,
episodic information about their memories of the train event.
In contrast to Tulving's account of childhood amnesia, the results of the present experiments indicate that children as young as 3 are able to encode
episodic information and to report that information when they are tested after a significant delay. Although…

▼ Episodic memory (EM) is disproportionately impaired in normal healthy aging. However, experimental comparisons and literature reviews of the neural correlates of EM across lab-based and naturalistic paradigms reveal significant differences. The current study systematically manipulated the degree of naturalism by testing memory for the same content encoded in a naturalistic vs. laboratory context in order to investigate how memory performance interacts with the properties of the encoding context in younger and older adults. We found that the naturalistic event was subsequently associated with greater overall recognition accuracy, specifically for sequence information, and was associated with a greater contribution of re-experiencing to recognition. We found no significant interaction of normal aging with the event manipulation, but our older sample is currently too small to draw definitive conclusions. Overall, our results suggest that the experimental manipulation of a controlled real-life event is a viable method for studying naturalistic episodic memory.

▼ [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A key imperative for marketers is to generate high levels of brand awareness and create favorable and distinctive brand associations in the minds of consumers.
Memory for brand information is typically created through brand-based experiences, which get stored in a person's
episodic memory system. Past research suggests that
episodic memory of an individual declines with age. Further, studies suggest that the effect of aging on two types of
episodic memory, i.e., item
memory and associative
memory, is differential. Older adults compared to younger adults seem to have poorer associative
memory than item
memory.
Episodic memory deficits in older adults can not only impede the brand building efforts of marketers but also compromise the quality of the former's brand choices. Therefore, the overarching objective of this dissertation was to study item and associative
memory deficits among elderly consumers in a branding context and investigate managerially relevant ways to improve
episodic memory for brand information. Specifically, this thesis looked at the effects of meaningfulness of brand logos (study 1) and relatedness between brand logos and brand names (study 2) on associative and item
memory in elderly versus younger consumers. The dissertation thus adds to the existing body of literature on
episodic memory decline among the elderly. In doing so, it also advances our knowledge of consumer behavior from a brand management standpoint.

▼ Summary: Previous research revealed that episodic memories are more likely to be consolidated if something novel occurs in relative temporal proximity to the original learned event (Dunsmoor, Murty, Davachi, & Phelps, 2015). Further, research conducted with rodents has revealed that novel contextual exposure following encoding of a spatial memory in a food-motivated task results in enhanced consolidation of that spatial memory (Takeuchi, Duszkiewics, Sonneborn et al., 2016). The present study sought to examine the influence of novel context exposure on non-spatial object memory in adult female and male C57BL/6J mice when novel context exposure follows encoding of object memory under two memory strength training protocols. Results revealed that regardless of memory strength or gender, subjects exposed to a novel context following encoding of object memory exhibited greater exploration of the novel object when assessed 23.5 h later. Thus, novel context exposure significantly enhanced the consolidation of recently encoded object memory. As novel context exposure has been shown to increase dopamine release in the hippocampus, these results are consistent with the theory of synaptic tag and capture, whereby activated dopaminergic afferents enhance the on-going consolidation of non-spatial object memory. Future studies will entail parsing potential neurotransmitter modulatory afferents via pharmacological antagonists.

▼ A novel word is rarely defined explicitly during the first encounter. With repeated exposure, a decontextualized meaning of the word is integrated into semantic
memory. With the overarching goal of characterizing the functional neuroanatomy of semantic processing in young adults, we employed a contextual word learning paradigm, creating novel synonyms for common animal/artifact nouns that, along with additional real words, served as stimuli for the lexical-decision based functional MRI (fMRI) experiment. Young adults (n=28) were given two types of word learning training administered in multiple sessions spread out over three days. The first type of training provided perceptual form-only training to pseudoword (PW) stimuli using a PW-detection task. The second type of training assigned the meaning of common artifacts and animals to PWs using multiple sentences to allow contextual meaning acquisition, essentially creating novel synonyms. The underlying goals were twofold: 1) to test, using a behavioral semantic priming paradigm, the hypothesis that novel words acquired in adulthood get integrated into existing semantic networks (discussed in Chapter 2); and 2) to investigate the functional neuroanatomy of semantic processing in young adults, at the single word level, using the newly learned as well as previously known word stimuli as a conduit (discussed in Chapter 3). As outlined in Chapter 2, in addition to the semantic priming test mentioned above, two additional behavioral tests were administered to assess word learning success. The first was a semantic
memory test using a two-alternative sentence completion task. Participants demonstrated robust accuracy (~87%) in choosing the appropriate meaning-trained item to complete a novel sentence. Second, an old/new item recognition test was administered using both meaning and form trained stimuli (old) as well as novel foil PWs (new). Participants demonstrated: a) high discriminability between trained and novel PW stimuli. (d-prime=2.72); and b)faster reaction times and higher accuracy for meaning-trained items relative to perceptually-trained items, consistent with prior level-of-processing research. The results from the recognition and semantic
memory tests confirmed that subjects could explicitly recognize trained items as well as demonstrate knowledge of the newly acquired synonymous meanings. Finally, using a lexical decision task, a semantic priming test assessed semantic integration using the novel trained items as primes for word targets that had no prior
episodic association to the primes. Relative to perceptually trained primes, meaning-trained primes significantly facilitated lexical decision latencies for synonymous word targets. Taken together, the behavioral findings outlined above demonstrate that a contextual approach is effective in facilitating word learning in young adults. Words learned over a few experimental sessions were successfully retained in declarative
memory, as demonstrated by behavioral performance in the semantic
memory and…

▼ Episodic memory decline is one of the hallmarks of human cognitive ageing, but our understanding of the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying this decline remains limited. In particular, it is unclear whether healthy ageing differentially affects distinct components of episodic memory retrieval; specifically, the probability of successfully retrieving information from memory, and the quality, or precision, of the retrieved memory representations. The research reported in this PhD thesis used continuous measures of memory retrieval to dissociate these two alternative sources of age-related memory deficits and their cognitive and neural underpinnings, providing more detailed insight into the nature of age-related episodic memory decline.
Two behavioural experiments reported in Chapter 2 provided initial evidence for differential effects of healthy ageing on the success and precision of episodic memory retrieval, suggesting greater sensitivity of mnemonic precision to age-related declines. Chapter 3 assessed whether these decreases in memory precision are specific to long-term memory or may be explained by age-related decreases in the fidelity of perceptual or working memory processes. The results from this experiment demonstrated that age-related reductions in the precision of episodic memory retrieval persisted after controlling for decreases in the fidelity of perception and working memory, suggesting a predominantly long-term memory basis for this deficit.
The functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging experiments reported in Chapters 4 and 5 sought to elucidate the neural basis of age-related changes in the success and precision of episodic memory retrieval. Results from Chapter 4 revealed distinct encoding and retrieval contributions to the decreases in these two aspects of memory retrieval exhibited by older adults. At retrieval, age-related reductions in activity associated with successful memory retrieval were observed in the hippocampus, while decreases in activity underlying the precision of memory retrieval were evident in the angular gyrus. Furthermore, at encoding, age-related decreases in activity predicting both later success and precision of memory retrieval were evident in the fusiform gyrus, while prefrontal reductions were observed in the encoding activity predicting the subsequent success of memory retrieval only. In addition to these functional changes, Chapter 5 provided evidence for the role of structural integrity of the lateral parietal cortex in individual differences in mnemonic precision across older adults.
Together, the results reported in this thesis highlight the sensitivity of memory precision to age-related cognitive decline, and suggest both distinct and common factors underlying age-related decreases in the success and precision of episodic memory retrieval.

▼ Search efficiency is usually improved by presenting observers with highly detailed target cues (e.g., pictures). However, in the absence of accurate target cues, observers must rely only on categorical information to find targets. Models of visual search suggest that guidance in a categorical search results from matching categorically-diagnostic target features in the search display to a top-down attentional set (i.e., the search template), but the mechanisms by which such attentional set is constructed have not been specified. The present investigation examined the influences of both semantic and episodic memory on search template formation. More precisely, the present study tested whether observers incorporated a recent experience with a target-category exemplar into their search template, instead of relying on long-term learned regularities about object categories (Experiment 1) or on the semantic context of the search display (Experiment 2). In both experiments participants completed a categorical search task (75% of trials) in conjunction with a dot-probe response task (25% of trials). The dot-probe response task assessed the contents of the search template by capturing spatial attention if the dot-probe was presented at an inconsistent location relative to objects matching the search template. In Experiment 1 it was shown that observers include recently encoded objects into their search templates, when given the opportunity to do so. Experiment 2, however, showed that observers rely on context semantics to construct categorical search templates, and they continue to do so in the presence of repeated target cues related to different contexts. These results suggest that observers can, and will, rely on episodic representations to construct categorical search templates when such representations are available, but only if no external cues (i.e., scene semantics) are present to identify criterial target feature.

▼ Episodic memory is a critical component of human cognition.
Episodic memory involves recollection of the contextual details surrounding an event, the capacity for mental time travel of past and future events, and is characterized by the subjective awareness that an event has been personally experienced. It is fundamental to our understanding of this complex
memory system to examine how
episodic memory emerges during the course of development. The present investigation explored the developmental improvement in
episodic memory processing assessing recollection of factual information and the source of this information (i.e., source
memory) between early to middle childhood. The electrophysiological (EEG) correlates of fact and source
memory processing and measures of executive function were also examined as potential sources of variation in
episodic memory. The focus of Study 1 was to examine source
memory development in early childhood in a sample of 4- and 6-year-olds. Results revealed that older children were better able to recall both fact and source information. Source
memory measures were correlated to early executive ability, namely measures of working
memory, inhibitory control and set-shifting. Frontal EEG accounted for unique variation in fact recall but not source recall, whereas temporal EEG did not predict fact or source recall performance. The focus of Study 2 was to examine source
memory development in middle childhood in a sample of 6- and 8-year-olds. Older children were better on fact recall, but both ages were comparable on source recall. Frontal EEG uniquely predicted fact recall performance beyond the contribution of age and language. Both frontal and parietal EEG and executive function predicted variation in source recall performance. In contrast, temporal EEG did not uniquely predict fact or source recall performance. Lastly, Study 3 was a longitudinal investigation of source
memory between early and middle childhood. Although age-related increases in performance were evident, Time 1 and Time 2 source
memory measures were not correlated. This investigation contributes to our understanding of the developmental changes in source
memory processing between early and middle childhood, and identifies that patterns of frontal and parietal brain activity and executive function skills contribute to early
episodic memory formation.

▼ Expectation for context is perhaps the most influential contributor to
episodic memory. Although research has investigated the influence of functional components of scene context in perception, little is known about the independent contributions of these components to long-term
episodic memory. In this investigation we find that different from perception, these components make substantially different contributions to
memory. Namely, the global context component that binds objects to natural scenes is important at short study times, where a lack of global binding information appears to disrupt meaning extraction. Local context components that bind objects to each other within a scene (i.e., spatial and associative) are important for sustaining
memory performance. Disrupted spatial information forces a longer visual search, which requires more study time for effective encoding. Lacking associative information has a detrimental effect on recall following short study times—effectively equating performance to short term
memory. This has important theoretical implications.

▼ Episodic memory—memory for events in the context of a particular time and place—is a complex construct with a protracted development. One defining and critical feature of episodic memory is memory for temporal order, or the ability to remember the order of sequences of events (e.g., X happened before Y). Memory for temporal order is largely thought to be dependent on a neural structure in the medial temporal lobe (MTL), the hippocampus. Previous work has shown continued behavioral improvements in episodic memory in general and specifically memory for temporal order across middle to late childhood (i.e. 7-11-years-old). However, the underlying factors contributing to this development are unclear. One factor may be the structural changes in subregions along the longitudinal axis of the hippocampus that also occur during middle to late childhood. However, these behavioral and neural changes have yet to be linked during development. The present study examined, in a group of children (7-11-year-olds) and young adults, age-related differences in performance on a memory for temporal order task, age-related difference in volume along the longitudinal axis of the hippocampus using structural MRI, and the relation between memory performance and hippocampal volume. Age-related improvements were found in both the encoding and retrieval of temporal order. Manual parcellation of the hippocampus replicated previous work: adults had smaller hippocampal head and tail and larger body than children. While no relation between hippocampal subregions and retrieval of temporal order were found, some differential patterns for adults and children emerged for the relation between encoding of temporal order and hippocampal subregions.

▼ The phenomenological characteristics of
memory are
similar to those of imagination: Remembering the past and imagining
the future share many subjective qualities. In part, this
similarity may be attributable to the finding that the ability to
construct a coherent scene underlies both remembered and imagined
events (Hassabis & Maguire, 2007). However, prior studies have
assumed that past events are remembered events, and future events
are imagined events, whereas previous research from our lab has
shown that people report future events being felt as remembered
(Branch & Anderson, 2018). The proposed dissertation seeks to
further define these <i>feelings of remembering</i>.
What makes an event feel remembered, even if it has yet, and
possibly might not, occur? In order to answer this question,
participants in Study 1 recalled memories, imagined modifications
to the central or peripheral objects contained within the
representation of the
memory for the event, and then imagined that
modified event occurring either in the future or counterfactual
past. Participants rated the degree to which the modified event
“feels as though I am remembering.” Our manipulation was successful
in that participants reported modified events, regardless of
temporal orientation, as being less remembered and more imagined
than baseline events, providing evidence that there is a
phenomenological distinction between remembering and imagining
separate from past and future events. Participants in Study 2
recalled a past event, a counterfactual event, and a future event,
and rated each event for the degree to which it contained a spatial
layout, vivid objects and people of central and peripheral
importance, and the degree to which the participant could decouple
from the present and mentally travel through time to when the event
had or would occur. Ratings of object and scene construction
individually formed an index that, together with autonoesis, were
used to predict the degree to which an event felt like a remembered
experience. Object construction significantly predicted the degree
to which a
memory was felt as remembered, whereas autonoesis
significantly predicted the degree to which future and
counterfactual thoughts were felt as remembered. Feelings of
remembering differed depending on the temporal orientation of the
event: Past events were felt as remembered if objects were
pictured, future events were felt as remembered if they were
accompanied by feelings of pre-living, and counterfactual events
were felt as remembered if they were accompanied by feelings of
reliving and mentally time travelling. This study provides evidence
that there is a phenomenological distinction between remembering
and imagining, and this distinction differs as a function of
time.

▼ Much research in the past decade has highlighted the importance of episodic simulation, the construction of a detailed representation of a possible personal future experience. Episodic simulation can be highly adaptive because it allows people to imagine different ways in which the future might play out without having to engage in actual behavior, which is beneficial across a variety of contexts, including problem solving and emotion regulation. The current dissertation aims to examine not only the mechanisms that support various types of episodic future simulation, but also the functions that future thinking may serve. Paper 1 (Jing, Madore, & Schacter, 2016) examines the impact of an episodic specificity induction (ESI), a brief training in recollecting details of a recent experience, on two positive simulation tasks: means-end problem solving (MEPS) and episodic reappraisal. We demonstrate that the ESI, relative to a control condition, boosts the steps and details people generate to solve or reframe a series of personally worrisome future problems. Further, this boost in details was linked to subsequent improvements in emotional well-being towards the target events. Paper 2 (Jing, Madore, & Schacter, 2017) also aims to investigate the impact of the ESI on emotional well-being using a novel alternative event generation task in young adults. Results show that the ESI increased the number of alternative positive outcomes that participants generated to a series of anticipated negative events, and that the boost in alternative outcomes was related to subsequent decreases in the perceived plausibility and negativity of the original events. Paper 3 (Jing, Madore, & Schacter, 2019) examined the effect of detailed problem solving on subsequent emotion regulation in older adults in two ways. Experiment 1 contrasted problem-solving performance after administering the ESI relative to a control induction, and found that while the ESI boosted performance on a MEPS task, there were no observed differences in emotion regulation between the two induction conditions. In Experiment 2, we contrasted performance on a personal problem-solving task intended to draw on episodic retrieval with a novel advice task focused on semantic processing. Participants provided more concrete steps and details in the personal problem-solving task relative to the advice task, and boosts in detail were related to larger improvements in emotion regulation. The results of these papers support the idea that imagining constructive behaviors regarding worrisome events may be related to improved emotional well-being.

▼ The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is essential to
episodic memory
through its role in the reactivation of past experience.
Cortical networks provide top-down influence on the
MTL, influencing the manner in which information can be
retrieved. While neuroimaging investigations of human
memory
have characterized the functional correlates of
episodic
retrieval, the coordination of MTL systems during
self-guided
memory search is poorly understood. Using
functional neuroimaging to estimate neural activation during
variants of the free-recall paradigm, this dissertation
demonstrates that the posterior MTL is critically involved in
internally-directed
memory search, through its interactions with
distributed cortical systems. First, I characterize the
engagement of a cortico-hippocampal network during
memory
search. I then demonstrate increased functional connectivity
between this network and multiple frontoparietal systems,
identifying neural mechanisms that may potentially reflect
top-down control of
memory search. Next, I relate activation of
the posterior MTL to the process of
episodic recollection
through comparison of activity during free recall and source
recognition tasks. I additionally demonstrate common activation
in dorsal frontoparietal networks during free recall and
processing of item familiarity. To characterize the computations
mediated by the MTL, I develop a neuro-cognitive model of free
recall. Retrieved-context theories propose that temporal
context, a slowly integrating representation of the recent past,
cues the hippocampus during retrieval. I link activation of the
MTL to the process of temporal reinstatement, predicting the
temporal organization of recall. Next, I use a variant of the
free-recall paradigm in which
memory is disrupted prior to
retrieval, to test the capacity of large-scale cortical networks
to control
episodic memory. I show that a frontoparietal control
network (FPCN) functionally couples with the MTL when
memory is
disrupted. Using a neurally informed computational model of
recall, I demonstrate that activation of the FPCN and posterior
MTL predict when individuals will overcome distraction by
reinstating contextual information to guide
memory search. Taken
together, these findings demonstrate how the MTL supports
memory
search through the reinstatement of contextual information, a
process that is coordinated through top-down signals from
frontoparietal networks.

▼ The human
memory system interacts with an ever-changing perceptual environment, and the perceptual properties of new information can shape that information’s mnemonic fate. Experimentally, shifts in perception to a salient stimulus have been shown to enhance memorability of post-shift items (Murdock and Walker, 1969). Despite this work, the neural signals that reflect this enhanced memorability at perceptual boundaries remain to be characterized. Sederberg et al. (2006) described global shifts in the oscillatory topography elicited by studied items at early vs. late serial positions, and showed distinct subsequent
memory responses for items of each type. In a scalp EEG experiment, we expanded on these findings by manipulating the presentation modality (auditory vs. visual) of studied material to elicit a mid-list perceptual shift that enhances the memorability of the post-shift item. These post-shift items elicited an oscillatory response which showed enhanced delta activity (2-4 Hz) and diminished alpha activity (10-14 Hz) relative to non-shift items from the same modality. We contrast these effects with the list position effects described by Sederberg et al. (2006), with an aim to further inform our understanding of the processes underlying the effects of contextual shifts on
episodic memory.

▼ Drawing, as an encoding strategy for to-be-remembered words, has previously been shown to provide robust episodic memory benefits in young adults. In this dissertation, I provide experimental evidence that drawing enhances memory in both healthy older adults and individuals with probable dementia. In Experiments 1 to 5, I showed that these populations demonstrated superior episodic memory as measured by free recall for common nouns that had been drawn rather than written during encoding. I suggest that incorporating visuo-perceptual information into the memory trace by drawing pictures enhances memory by increasing reliance on visual-sensory brain regions, which are relatively intact in normal aging and dementia. Further, I provide findings regarding the boundary conditions of the drawing effect, in Experiments 6 to 8, demonstrating that drawing is only beneficial when it is semantically related to the to-be-remembered information. Finally, in Experiments 9 to 11, I demonstrate that while drawing boosts memory for studied information, it also makes one more susceptible to having false memories for related information, than does either writing or mental imagery. These findings suggest that drawing enhances memory by promoting recollection of rich visual contextual and semantic information during retrieval, and this leads to the unintended side effect of increasing false alarm rates to related information. Overall, the findings in this dissertation refine the theoretical explanation for the drawing effect by establishing a variety of circumstances in which drawing is, and is not, beneficial for memory performance.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Schizophrenia patients have difficulty with learning new information and organizing this into meaningful categories, or at least accessing the systems available for use of these effective strategies. Our initial research compared ‘healthy’ controls (n=23) matched to individuals with schizophrenia (n=23) on memory tasks using verbal and non-verbal material. The study used a quantitative mixed matched pairs design, with between participants’ factors comparing schizophrenia patients and controls memory for words and faces across directed or nil directed groups, and within subjects factors comparing memory performance at different time points. The study aimed to establish the conditions for improving memory performance in the short-term and after a one-week delay. Matched-pairs were randomly allocated to remember (n=13) or mnemonic conditions (n=10). Improved encoding was facilitated by training the application of mnemonic strategies to highly structured lists. We demonstrate significant effects of both group, and instruction, which interacted with stimulus type, indicating poorer performance for faces than words. We demonstrate that mnemonic-trained individuals with chronic schizophrenia performed at the same level as untrained control participants .In the final session, a significant overall advantage for mnemonic instructions was maintained. A “memory-for-foils” method revealed a remaining deficit in retrieval processing, underlining the need for strategies to improve encoding but also retrieval. Our second experiment was a preliminary exploration of the effectiveness of mnemonic training via a web-based package. We investigate whether a ‘drill-and-practice’ program training in mnemonic strategies would facilitate generalized use and benefit everyday functioning. The experiment compared the effects of two (‘mnemonic’ versus ‘remember’) online computerized remediation training programs similar to that of the first study, in 40 individuals with chronic schizophrenia. We found mnemonic training delivered via a web-based intervention to be ineffective due to motivational difficulties, with no significant effects between groups on mnemonic versus remember training. The only effect replicated in the memory-testing sessions was much better performance with word than face cues. We discuss future directions for developing effective interventions making use of the potentially powerful benefits of mnemonics to remediate memory dysfunction in chronic schizophrenia.

▼ Patients with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) tend to exhibit impairments in in their episodic memory. In yes-no tests of recognition memory, patients with AD often display liberal response bias, a stronger tendency to recognize unstudied items as already-studied "old" items. Such tendency is believed to be related to false memory, which can decrease the quality of life in many AD patients. In this study, we analyzed the effect of different instructional manipulations within yes-no recognition memory task on response bias. Younger healthy adults, older healthy adults and one AD patient were evaluated for recognition memory performance and response bias in three different conditions of instructional manipulation. In each session separated by a week-long interval, participants were shown 120 words to study and 240 words, half of which were studied items, to be tested for recognition memory. Instructional manipulation was added in the testing phase of each condition. In one session, the participants were asked if the words were old, studied items; in another session, they were asked if the words were new, unstudied items; finally in the third session, participants were asked to identify if the words were either old or new. Our findings corroborated previous studies by observing liberal response bias in AD and moderately conservative response bias in health adults. We found that the instructional manipulations did not have a significant effect on response bias in either control group while the effect in the AD patient was inconclusive.

▼ The objective of this research was to investigate the extent to which context contributes to the learning and recognition of episodic auditory-verbal memories (EAM). By combining the Hebb repetition paradigm (HRP) and continuous recognition paradigm (CRP), I capitalized on the advantages of both while manipulating the context in which EAM were retrieved. Through repetition, participants learned sequences of pseudowords in which word order and speaker were varied. A recognition test of either a pseudoword (Experiment I) or the speaker of a pseudoword (Experiment II) revealed temporal and sensory context effects. Results showed that the encoding manipulation did not impact short-term memory but did have an effect on long-term learning. This research helped to clarify the role of context in EAM in both short- and long-term memory, as well as added to the current literature of HRP and CRP. Future directions are discussed.

▼ The present study aimed at testing the efficacy of elaborative interrogation on boosting the coherence and detail with which people imagine personal future events. Participants in two experiments were asked to imagine future events based off a Person-Location-Object cue triad. The cues in the triad were either related by virtue of being from the same social circle (i.e. Person-Location-Object from "school", or "same-circle" cues) or unrelated to one another (i.e. Person from "School", Location from "Family", and Object from "Office", or "mixed-circle" cues). In Experiment 1, participants engaged in elaborative interrogation by generating reasons why a given "Person" would be found in a future event at a given "Location," before mentally simulating an event comprised of the Person, Location, and an additional Object. In Experiment 2, participants engaged in cue-independent elaborative interrogation before mentally simulating any future events. Participants were also given cued and free recall
memory tasks at the end of both experiments to test potential
memory effects of elaboration on the future event cues. While the elaborative interrogation strategy did not increase detail of future events in both experiments, Experiment 1 found effects of elaboration on increasing coherence, as well as
memory benefits for elaborated events. Implications and future directions are discussed.
