Class-Incremental Continual Learning Into the eXtended DER-Verse (2022, background): “Recent studies highlight that the episodic memory also plays a key role in the mental simulation of future events [22], [23]; in other words, previously learned concepts influence our expectations about the future.”
Hippocampal replay of extended experience (2009, positive): “This interpretation of the functional role of awake replay is also consistent with work suggesting a high degree of overlap in the cognitive processes supporting both episodic recall and the evaluation of future events in humans (Buckner and Carroll, 2007; Schacter et al., 2007).”
Episodic future thinking reduces reward delay discounting through an enhancement of prefrontal-mediotemporal interactions. (2010, background): “The hippocampus may thus contribute to decision-making through its role in self-projection into the future (Bar, 2009; Schacter et al., 2007), allowing an organism to evaluate future payoffs through mental simulation (Johnson and Redish, 2007; Johnson et al., 2007).”
Cortical Hubs Revealed by Intrinsic Functional Connectivity: Mapping, Assessment of Stability, and Relation to Alzheimer’s Disease (2009, background): “…cognition, remembering, and navigation through virtual environments) often elicit relative activity increases in the default network (for review, see Svoboda et al., 2006; Buckner and Carroll, 2007; Hassabis and Maguire, 2007; Schacter et al., 2007; Buckner et al., 2008; Spreng et al., 2008).”
Using imagination to understand the neural basis of episodic memory (2007, background): “…a key component of episodic memory recall lends additional support to constructive theories of episodic memory (Bartlett, 1932; Schacter et al., 1998) and the recently proposed constructive episodic simulation function of the episodic memory system (Schacter and Addis, 2007; Schacter et al., 2007).”
Are episodic memories special? On the sameness of remembered and imagined event simulation (2018, background): “…coping with stressful upcoming situations (e.g. Taylor & Schneider 1989) and more advantageous decisionmaking (e.g. Benoit et al. 2011) raising the intriguing possibility that the human brain, or at least episodic memory, was designed for prospection (Schacter et al. 2007; see also Klein 2013).”
Fractionating the Default Mode Network: Distinct Contributions of the Ventral and Dorsal Posterior Cingulate Cortex to Cognitive Control (2011, background): “A recent computational model of neural dynamics provides a potential mechanism that could explain how a local increase in functional integration within the PCC could influence behavior even though it is accompanied by an overall decrease in activation (Schacter et al., 2007).”
Source monitoring 15 years later: What have we learned from fMRI about the neural mechanisms of source memory? (2009, background): “, 2005; Vogt & Laureys, 2005, for reviews) and “self-projection” tasks such as envisioning future events (Buckner & Carroll, 2007; Schacter et al., 2007).”
