Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the hippocampus in flexible cognition and social behavior.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the hippocampus plays a critical role by forming and reconstructing relational memory representations that underlie flexible cognition and social behavior and that this understanding has important clinical implications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial reconstruction by patients with hippocampal damage is dominated by relational memory errors
TL;DR: The most striking feature of patients' with hippocampal damage performance was that they tended to reverse the relative positions of item pairs within arrays of any size, effectively “swapping” pairs of objects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive neuroscience of human counterfactual reasoning
TL;DR: It is proposed that counterfactual thinking depends on an integrative network of systems for affective processing, mental simulation, and cognitive control that together enable adaptive behavior and goal-directed decision making and make recommendations for the study ofcounterfactual inference in health, aging, and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relating hippocampus to relational memory processing across domains and delays
Jim M. Monti,Gillian E. Cooke,Patrick Watson,Michelle W. Voss,Arthur F. Kramer,Neal J. Cohen +5 more
TL;DR: Testing the commonality among disparate tasks linked to the hippocampus by using PCA on performance from a battery of 12 cognitive tasks revealed that bilateral hippocampal volume was strongly tied to performance on this component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Learning through Multimodal Training: Evidence from a Comprehensive Cognitive, Physical Fitness, and Neuroscience Intervention.
Nathan Ward,Nathan Ward,Erick J. Paul,Patrick Watson,Gillian E. Cooke,Charles H. Hillman,Neal J. Cohen,Arthur F. Kramer,Aron K. Barbey +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that multimodal training significantly enhanced learning (relative to computer-based cognitive training alone) and provided an effective method to promote skill learning across multiple cognitive domains, spanning executive functions, working memory, and planning and problem solving.
