Ecphory occurs when one recollects a past event cued by a trigger, such as a picture, odor, or name. It is a central component of autobiographical memory, which allows us to "travel mentally back in time" and re-experience specific events from our personal past. Using fMRI and focusing on the role of medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures, we investigated the brain bases of autobiographical memo...

There is enduring interest in why some of us have clearer memories than others, given the substantial individual variation that exists in retrieval ability and the precision with which we can differentiate past experiences. Here we report novel evidence showing that variation in the size of human hippocampal subfield CA3 predicted the amount of neural interference between episodic memories with...

This article analyzes Jeanette Winterson’s Lighthousekeeping (2004) within the concept of memory through a close textual analysis and explores how plays role in shaping an individual’s identity body spaces form memory. An individual as spatial temporal being perceives world sensory perceptions her/his forms memories this interaction. The recollections these memories, pleasant or painful, affect...

Remembering an event from the past is often complicated by the fact that our memories are cluttered with similar events. Though competition is a fundamental part of remembering, there is little evidence of how mnemonic competition is neurally represented. Here, we assessed whether competition between visual memories is captured in the relative degree to which target vs. competing memories are r...

Gedeo is the area where Africa’s largest megalithic stone concentration found. This research aims to assess heritage management problems of sites in Zone, Ethiopia, with a focus on Tutu Fella and Chelba Tututi sites. Methodologically, study employed primary secondary sources, which were collected through literature review, field work, interviews local informants. The shows that stones have hist...

BACKGROUND Depressed individuals have been consistently shown to exhibit problems in accessing specific memories of events from their past and instead tend to retrieve categorical summaries of events. The majority of studies examining autobiographical memory changes associated with psychopathology have tended to use word cues, but only one study to date has used images (with PTSD patients). O...

This article reviews research using the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) associative memory illusion, whereby people falsely remember words that were not presented. This illusion has broadly influenced basic theories of memory in cognitive psychology and neuroscience and naturally raises the question as to how these theories apply to more complex autobiographical memories. Some applicability is e...
