The Method of Loci revisited: Memory enhancement by way of virtually augmented memory palaces
Posted on December 8, 2016 Leave a Comment
Reggente, N., Essoe, J., Mehta, P.*, Ohno, A.*, Rissman, J. Humans have long appreciated that visuospatial cues can serve as a scaffolding for the encoding of non-spatial content. The Method of Loci (MoL), which binds objects to a spatial context in one’s mental imagery, has been the favored mnemonic strategy of memory champions since Ancient Greece. […]
Neural correlates of fluid intelligence via functional and structural network connectivity measures
Posted on December 8, 2016 Leave a Comment
Connectivity across regions in the brain can be characterized as either functional (correlated fluctuations in activity as measured by resting-state fMRI data) or structural (white matter pathways as measured by diffusion MRI data). Emerging studies suggest that the connections across brain regions that make up distinct cognitive networks can partially explain individual differences in behavioral […]
