Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociable effects of surprising rewards on learning and memory.
TL;DR: The results show that prediction errors boost both episodic item memory and incremental reward learning, but the two effects are likely mediated by distinct underlying systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does mental context drift or shift
TL;DR: These findings call for revising models of the role of context in memory, in order to account for abrupt contextual shifts and the controllable nature of context change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reward prediction errors create event boundaries in memory.
TL;DR: High-RPE events are both more strongly encoded, show intact links with their predecessor, and act as event boundaries that interrupt the sequential integration of events, captured in a variant of the Context Maintenance and Retrieval model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signed and unsigned reward prediction errors dynamically enhance learning and memory
Nina Rouhani,Yael Niv +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that both signed and unsigned RPEs enhance memory, in line with midbrain dopamine and locus-coeruleus modulation of hippocampal plasticity, thereby reconciling separate findings in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depressive symptoms bias the prediction-error enhancement of memory towards negative events in reinforcement learning.
Nina Rouhani,Yael Niv +1 more
TL;DR: Investigating how reward prediction errors experienced during learning modulate memory for rewarding events in individuals with depressive and non-depressive symptoms concluded that in depressive participants, negative prediction errors enhanced episodic memory more so than did positive prediction errors, and vice versa for non-Depressive participants who showed a larger effect of positive predictions on memory.
