Details and Gist, Space and Events: Memory Organization and

Transformation as Reflected in Behaviour and the Brain

Morris Moscovitch, University of Toronto

Influenced by their initial organization, memories are transformed with time and

experience. Recent studies on specialization along the long axis of the

hippocampus, and its interaction with anterior and posterior neocortex, provide

insight into memory organization and transformation. I will review some of the

studies and suggest a framework for studying memory in healthy young and old

adults, and in people with brain damage.

Learning Cognitive Control: Mechanisms of Adapting Attentional Set

to Changing Demands

Tobias Egner, Duke University

When routine behavior runs into trouble, “cognitive control” processes are

recruited to bring information processing in line with current demands. For

instance, encountering an almost-accident on our commute will reinforce our

attentional focus on the traffic and away from the radio. How does the brain

accomplish this? In this talk, I will present behavioral, neuroimaging, and

neurostimulation data that delineate the cognitive and neural mechanisms

underlying our ability to adapt to changing task demands. Specifically, I will present

a “control learning” perspective that views cognitive control as being guided by

associative learning mechanisms, exploiting statistical regularities in our

environment to anticipate the need for control. Control learning not only adapts

attentional sets to changing demands over time but can also directly associate

appropriate top-down attentional states with specific bottom-up cues, and even

transfer them across linked stimuli. This type of learning holds the promise of

combining the speed of automatic processing with the flexibility of controlled

processing, and could form the basis of novel interventions in clinical conditions

that involve impaired cognitive control.
