Event congruency enhances episodic memory encoding through semantic elaboration and relational binding.
Behavioral research consistently shows that congruous events, that is, events whose constituent elements match along some specific dimension, are better remembered than incongruous events. Although it has been speculated that this "congruency subsequent memory effect" (cSME) results from enhanced semantic elaboration, empirical evidence for this account is lacking. Here, we report a set of beha...
متن کاملAutomatic Semantic Activation and Episodic Memory Encoding
An experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of a briefly presented patternmasked stimulus on (1) subjects' latency'to make a lexical decision regarding a subsequent letter string and (2) their episodic encoding of that letter string in long-term memory. During the first half of the experiment subjects participated in a primed lexical decision task (LDT). Half of the subjects receiv...
متن کاملDelineating the Effect of Semantic Congruency on Episodic Memory: The Role of Integration and Relatedness
A fundamental challenge in the study of learning and memory is to understand the role of existing knowledge in the encoding and retrieval of new episodic information. The importance of prior knowledge in memory is demonstrated in the congruency effect-the robust finding wherein participants display better memory for items that are compatible, rather than incompatible, with their pre-existing se...
متن کاملSemantic structure and episodic memory
In remembering a list of words, subjects’ order of recall can reveal the influence of both semantic and temporal associations among items. In this chapter, we examine how well measures of semantic relatedness (e.g., Landauer & Dumais, 1997; Steyvers, Shiffrin, & Nelson, 2004) predict the order of subject’s recalls. Analysis of recall transitions reveal that subtle variations in semantic related...
متن کاملCOMMENTARY Episodic Memory, Semantic Memory, and Amnesia
Episodic memory and semantic memory are two types of declarative memory. There have been two principal views about how this distinction might be reflected in the organization of memory functions in the brain. One view, that episodic memory and semantic memory are both dependent on the integrity of medial temporal lobe and midline diencephalic structures, predicts that amnesic patients with medi...
