A trait oriented approach to the cognitive neuroscience of memory

在NSERC的持续支持下，我和我的学生在过去的15年里开发并维持了一项关于健康受试者记忆的认知神经科学的详尽研究计划。更准确地说，我们的努力集中在检查记忆功能的不同相互关联的维度及其神经关联上。目前的建议试图通过探索认知结构如何与情景记忆表现及其神经关联相交叉来继续我们对情景记忆的认知神经科学研究。根据贝克的一般认知模型，一个人的认知结构由个性特征、信念和态度组成，并最终影响认知过程，如记忆。关于情节记忆系统，这种认知结构通过改善对某些类型的信息的回忆或减少对其他类型的信息的回忆来偏向记忆。

With continued support from NSERC, my students and I have developed and maintained an exhaustive program of research on the cognitive neuroscience of memory in healthy subjects over the past 15 years. More precisely, we have focused our efforts on examining different inter-related dimension of memory function and their neural correlates. The current proposal seeks to pursue our cognitive neuroscience studies of episodic memory by exploring how cognitive architecture intersects with episodic memory performance and its neural correlates. According to Beck’s generic cognitive model, a person’s cognitive architecture is composed of personality traits, beliefs, and attitudes and ultimately influences cognitive processes such as memory. With regards to the episodic memory system, this cognitive architecture biases memory by either improving recollection for certain types of information or decreasing recollection for other types of information.
