The Strength of Target Representations Drives Mnemonic Discrimination: Evidence From Extended Delay and Hippocampal Damage

ABSTRACT Mnemonic discrimination is critical for episodic memory and is dependent on the computational process of pattern separation, which allows the memory system to disambiguate prior memories from potentially overlapping new memories and avoid interference. Prior work with tasks such as the Mnemonic Similarity Task...
