This research will take advantage of a new research approach and a set of converging methods to examine the specialization of different memory systems for different aspects of memory processing, operating simultaneously. This form of memory maintains information about what people and/or what objects were part of a given experience, in what context they were encountered, where they were located with respect to the scene and to each other, who did what to whom in that experience, and so forth. This system is thought to be critical for remembering one's experiences by enabling memory for the relations among the elements of the events, situations, or scenes encountered in daily life (or in the laboratory). One form of memory that has been identified, "declarative" or "relational" memory, is associated with the operation of a particular brain system, the hippocampal system. Considerable recent research has been directed at attempting to characterize these systems. Previous research has indicated that there are different memory systems in the brain that support different types or forms of memory. This research will explore the mechanisms of memory supporting the ability of people to remember the details of their experiences. HUMAN COGNITION & PERCEPTION, Cognitive Neuroscience
