{"pk":29800,"title":"The Relation between Gist and Item Memory Over a Month","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Memory requires both individuation of specific episodes aswell as extraction of gist across related experiences. Thisstudy developed a spatial memory paradigm to track changesin item memory (memory for specific locations) and gistmemory (estimate of the center of the locations) across aperiod of a month, and to measure the relation between thesetwo forms of memory. We found that item memories decayedcompared to gist memory after a month, yet there was apositive relationship between the two forms of memory thatpersisted. Moreover, item memories were biased towards gistmemory only after a month. These findings together indicatethat gist memory, initially extracted from item memories,gradually develops into a stable representation that can guideitem memory retrieval over longer durations.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Consolidation; gist memory"}],"section":"Poster Session 2","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0d4451m6","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Haiyun","middle_name":"(Tima)","last_name":"Zeng","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pennsylvania","department":""},{"first_name":"Alexa","middle_name":"","last_name":"Tompary","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pennsylvania","department":""},{"first_name":"Anna","middle_name":"C.","last_name":"Schapiro","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pennsylvania","department":""},{"first_name":"Sharon","middle_name":"L.","last_name":"Thompson-Schill","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pennsylvania","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2020-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29800/galley/19654/download/"}]}
