Abstract:Theories of hippocampal function have proposed that spatiotemporal representations provide a scaffold upon which episodic memories are built. If this is true, does the developmental emergence of adult-like episodic memory in children depend on the successful binding of space with time? To address this question, we report results from two studies aimed at revealing the developmental changes in episodic memory and the specific role of spatiotemporal binding in that process. Study 1 investigated the cognitive mec… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
