Journal ArticleDOI
Eye movements in Alzheimer's disease.
TL;DR: AD-related changes to fundamental eye movements, such as saccades and smooth pursuit motion, are reviewed, in addition to changes to eye movement patterns during more complex tasks like visual search and scene exploration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pattern separation and pattern completion in Alzheimer's disease: evidence of rapid forgetting in amnestic mild cognitive impairment.
TL;DR: A continuum is proposed that reflects underlying hippocampal neuropathology whereby patients with aMCI are able to properly encode information into memory but rapidly lose these memory representations, and patients with AD, who have extensive hippocampal and parahippocampal damage, cannot properly encoded information in distinct, orthogonal representations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Memory-related eye movements challenge behavioral measures of pattern completion and pattern separation.
TL;DR: Compared eye movements during the initial presentation of items to eye movements made during the later presentation of item repetitions and similar lures are compared in order to assess mnemonic processing at encoding and retrieval, respectively, suggesting that measures of pattern separation and completion in behavioral paradigms are not process‐pure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Memory Reactivation during Learning Simultaneously Promotes Dentate Gyrus/CA2,3 Pattern Differentiation and CA1 Memory Integration.
TL;DR: It is found that memory reactivation during learning promoted formation of differentiated representations for overlapping memories in the dentate gyrus/CA2,3 and subiculum subfields of the hippocampus, while simultaneously leading to the formation of integrated representations of related events in subfield CA1.

TL;DR: It is speculated that younger and older adults store the same number of items in VWM, but that younger adults store a higher-resolution representation than do older adults.
