New paper from my lab showing evidence that the retrieval state is engaged following rather than preceding stimulus onset. This suggests that the retrieval state reflects internal attention recruited once an attentional target has been specified.

New paper from my lab! @moorecogneuro.bsky.social shows that memory brain states are diminished or less robustly engaged in healthy older adults compared to young and middle-aged adults. longtermmemorylab.com/wp-content/u...

Check out my lab’s posters at #CNS2025 Sunday 5-7pm: C2, C15, and C63! Engage your encoding state to learn about memory brain states, false memories, and memory changes in healthy aging.

Check out this new paper from my lab in which we find that memory states are influenced by congruency across consecutive memory judgments.

My lab has a new paper out at jneuro showing that top-down task goals can induce the retrieval state even during novel items — suggesting that internal attention may be recruited in service of the attempt to access a stored representation. www.jneurosci.org/content/44/3...
Top-Down Task Goals Induce the Retrieval State
Engaging the retrieval state ([Tulving, 1983][1]) impacts processing and behavior ([Long and Kuhl, 2019][2], [2021][3]; [Smith et al., 2022][4]), but the extent to which top-down factors—explicit inst...

New paper from my lab! We show a post-response theta power “flip” following correct recognition responses — this suggests a potential feedback mechanism in response to successful retrieval longtermmemorylab.com/wp-content/u...
