    Author : Ecem Dilmaç; [2023]
    Keywords : Scanpath Similarity; Mnemonic Similarity Task; Episodic Memory; Lure Discrimination; MultiMatch; Real-World Visual Search; Encoding; Retrieval; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Pattern separation is one of the central operations of episodic memory. Tasks that evaluate the pattern separation usually base their assessments on the behavioral recall of simple objects or words and are far from real-life experiences and daily memory performance. Thus, typical tasks that assess pattern separation lack ecological validity. READ MORE
