Involuntary autobiographical memories and their relation to other forms of spontaneous thoughts

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 376(1817), P. 20190693 - 20190693

Involuntary autobiographical memories are of personal events that come to mind spontaneously—that is, with no conscious initiation the retrieval process. Such spontaneously arising were long ignored in cognitive psychology, which generally has focused on controlled and strategic forms remembering, studied laboratory settings. Recent evidence shows involuntary past highly frequent daily life, they represent a context-sensitive, associative way recollecting involves little executive control. They operate by constraints favour recent distinct feature overlap current situation, optimizes probability functional relevance ongoing situation. In addition adults, documented young children great apes may be an ontogenetic evolutionary forerunner events. Findings suggest intrusive observed clinically after traumatic should viewed as dysfunctional subclass otherwise memories. Because their constrained, situation-dependent automatic nature, form category spontaneous thought cannot equated wandering.

Content biases in three phases of cultural transmission: A review

Culture and Evolution, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 19(1), P. 41 - 60

Published: Dec. 19, 2022

Abstract Cultural evolution theory proposes that information transmitted through social learning is not indiscriminately but instead biased by heuristics and mechanisms which increase the likelihood individuals will copy particular cultural traits based on their inherent properties (content biases) of models, or under circumstances (context biases). Recent research suggests content biases are as important, more than context in selection faithful transmission traits. Here, evidence for emotive, social, threat-related, stereotype consistent counterintuitive reviewed, focusing how these may operate across three phases transmission: choose-to-receive, encode-and-retrieve, choose-to-transmit. Support some primarily functioning attention memory, while others function to share with others, implications this wider discussed. Ultimately, a approach examining biases, greater engagement literature, required clear conclusions about mechanism potential differences transmission.

The animacy advantage for free-recall performance is not attributable to greater mental arousal

Memory, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: 26(1), P. 89 - 95

Published: May 15, 2017

People often demonstrate better memory for animate concepts (e.g., lion and sailor) than inanimate hammer mountain). Researchers have attributed this effect to an adaptive mechanism that favours information relevant survival, including about living things. In the present experiment, we examined hypothesis people free-recall performance words because tend be associated with greater mental arousal words, a factor was not controlled in previous experiments on topic. To end, matched word lists (and several other factors), compared participants' two types. We were able replicate past findings of exceeds their but found no support possibility stems from differences between concepts, as maintained even when arousal. The results therefore indicate cannot explain effects animacy performance.

Invertebrates as models of learning and memory: investigating neural and molecular mechanisms

Journal of Experimental Biology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 226(3)

Published: Jan. 31, 2023

In this Commentary, we shed light on the use of invertebrates as model organisms for understanding causal and conserved mechanisms learning memory. We provide a condensed chronicle contribution offered by mollusks to studies how where nervous system encodes stores memory describe rich cognitive capabilities some insect species, including attention concept learning. also discuss planarians investigating dynamics during brain regeneration highlight role stressful stimuli in forming memories. Furthermore, focus increasing evidence that display forms emotions, which provides new opportunities unveiling neural molecular underlying complex interaction between stress, emotions cognition. doing so, experimental challenges suggest future directions expect field take coming years, particularly regarding what we, humans, need know preventing and/or delaying loss.

Trauma and Long‐Term Memory for Childhood Events: Impact Matters

Child Development Perspectives, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 13(1), P. 3 - 9

Abstract In recent years, society has been stunned by high‐profile cases in which adults allege they were sexually victimized childhood. A crucial issue these is how accurately remember the traumatic childhood experiences. this article, we examine predictors of accuracy adults’ long‐term memory for maltreatment and events related to experienced First, discuss negative or threatening information child may affect memory. Second, highlight methodological challenges inherent scientific inquiry. Third, describe findings from our longitudinal research on abuse subsequent involvement legal system. We conclude that, overall, greater impact experienced, more accurate later memory, although factors development, individual differences, interviews moderate effects trauma
