Inhibition mediates the relationship between age cohort and virtual reality-based prospective memory.

Introduction: Prospective memory has received relatively little attention from a clinical perspective, yet it is an important part of daily functioning. Executive functions have been linked with prospective memory abilities, and age differences are found in both executive functions and prospective memory. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether age cohort differences in prospective memory abilities are mediated by executive functions, specifically inhibition.

Recollection, familiarity, and behavioural pattern separation: A correlational study.

The relationship between recognition and pattern discrimination is not fully understood, and research on the relationships between these two processes is sparse. It has been generally assumed that pattern separation allows for recollection-based recognition. However, recent research has called this assumption into question.
