Memories as pictures

Jun.-Prof. Dr. Kristina Liefke

December 12, 2024

Memory scenarios resemble pictures in a number of ways: Like pictures, scenarios are informationally rich, can be of particular objects or events, and allow the agent to take a new perspective on the represented target. Like pictures, scenarios can further alter some (or more) details of, or...

About the research unit

The research unit FOR 2812 "Constructing scenarios of the past: A new framework in episodic memory" is a project funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). The research unit studies the cognitive and neuronal mechanisms underlying scenario construction in episodic memory. We employ and integrate approaches from Philosophy, Psychology, and Experimental and Computational Neuroscience.
