In this review, we focus on information processing, and specifically, the use of gist and verbatim representations to guide memory, reasoning, and concept formation.
Yet Portman said we rehearse a lot of memories -- so why not make a conscious effort to guide memory development?
Rather than forget passively, then, the brain seems to shed memories actively.Sleep also helps guide memories intended to be retained down particular paths remembering patterns, for example, as opposed to facts.
Although further replication is needed, our results might reflect a potential role for interactions between the MTL and basal ganglia in guiding the memory of novel contexts (see reviews by Pennartz et al., 2011; van der Meer et al., 2012) and in disambiguating overlapping routes (Brown et al., 2012; Brown and Stern, 2014).
And this activation of the left prefrontal cortex along with the medial temporal region leads to a neurophysiological memory trace which can be used to guide subsequent memory retrieval.
Guided by memory after nearly four years away, Michal Goldman last week walked through the courtyard of a block-square apartment house in the Bronx.
Within this setting, Mr. Celant, guided by memory and photographs, has installed each piece of art in the precise spot it occupied 44 years ago.
And, as if guided by memory, I made a left turn onto a road I'd certainly been down before.
In a recent psychophysical investigation, it was shown that observers perceive the color of a black-and-white picture of a banana as slightly yellowish – an effect attributed to a top-down filling in process, guided by memory: you know that bananas are yellow, so the brain fills in that color automatically [6].
Our data support a model in which these experience-dependent associations, once established, are re-expressed in SPW-Rs of quiet wakefulness, to guide spatial memory across trials.
