State-Trace Analysis

TL;DR: It is shown that neither memory nor perception are appropriately scaled in stimulus space; instead, they are based on a transformed similarity representation that is non-linearly related to stimulus space, calling into question a foundational assumption of extant models of visual working memory.

TL;DR: An integrative memory model is proposed which describes the distributed and interactive neurocognitive architecture of representations and operations underlying recollection and familiarity and can guide future neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies aiming to understand how such a network allows humans to remember past events, to project into the future, and possibly also to share experiences.

TL;DR: The authors argue that one of the reasons for the slow progress in psychology is the failure to acknowledge the problem of coordination, which arises whenever we attempt to measure quantities that are not directly observable but can be inferred from observable variables.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that repetition greatly improves long-term memory, including the ability to discriminate an item from a very similar item (fidelity), in both a lab setting and a naturalistic setting, and the results suggest both memory systems are capable of storing similar incredibly high-fidelity memories under the right circumstances.
