Couples as socially distributed cognitive systems: Remembering in everyday social and material contexts (2014, methodology): “…was striking because older adults are normally found to have an age-related episodic deficit, meaning they recall fewer episodic memories (memories of specific events), while semantic memory (memory for general information) is generally spared with age (Addis et al., 2008; Levine et al., 2002).”
Remembering the past to imagine the future: the prospective brain (2007, positive): “A similar pattern was also recently reported in healthy older adults, when they were compared with college students 23 .”
Are episodic memories special? On the sameness of remembered and imagined event simulation (2018, methodology): “Indeed, the retrieval of episodic details is tightly associated with the incorporation of episodic details in future events (Addis et al. 2008) and the amount of detail comprising both past and future events modulates posterior hippocampal activity (Addis & Schacter 2008).”
The Future of Memory: Remembering, Imagining, and the Brain (2012, background): “…episodic details than younger adults both when remembering the past and imagining the future, along with an increased number of external details for both remembering and imagining (Addis et al., 2008, 2010, 2011b; Gaesser et al., 2011; Sheldon et al., 2011; for review, see Schacter et al., 2012).”
The Common Neural Basis of Autobiographical Memory, Prospection, Navigation, Theory of Mind, and the Default Mode: A Quantitative Meta-analysis (2009, background): “Other researchers have shown that the descriptions of both past and future events show decreasing phenomenological richness with increasing time from the present (D'Argembeau & Van der Linden, 2004 ), and that the episodic specificity of past and future events declines with age in an equivalent fas”
Frequency, characteristics and functions of future‐oriented thoughts in daily life (2011, neutral): “Although many studies to date have focused on episodic forms of future thinking (e.g. Addis et al., 2008; D’Argembeau & Van der Linden, 2006; Szpunar & McDermott, 2008), the current data show that a substantial amount of future-oriented thoughts experienced in daily life (more than half of reported…”
