Hey cognitive psychologists. When does this mean we will no longer be able to ask people to draw a US penny? Always great to recreate the classic study by Nickerson & Adams (1979) showing that people can't recall an object they've looked at hundreds or thousands of times.

On my lab reading list— A neural state space for episodic memories: Trends in Cognitive Sciences
www.cell.com/trends/cogni...
loading . . .
A neural state space for episodic memories
Episodic memories are highly dynamic and change in nonlinear ways over time. This dynamism is not captured by existing systems consolidation theories that predict a unidirectional process where memories are first supported by the hippocampus and then the neocortex. Here, I propose a 3D state space for episodic memories. The first two dimensions relate to whether episodic retrieval is driven by the hippocampus and the neocortex, critically allowing for independent and additive contributions from both regions. The third dimension relates to the episodic specificity of retrieval. Memories can be located at any point in this state space and move to any other location. The state space captures the dynamic nature of episodic memory and broadens the search space of possible memory states and transformations across time.
