Memory processes and experimental continuity.
What are the memory processes that produce coherent representations of temporally discontinuous experiences? In this article, we describe the memory process of resonance, a process that provides renewed access to long-term memory information that is relevant to cues in working memory. Our experiments demonstrate c parallel waxing and waning of information as a function of relevance to a current episode, a pattern of accessibility of information that contributes to the achievement of continuity across experiences.
