🚨 New preprint! With @mdelmarco.bsky.social and @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social Can episodic memory become more flexible, expanding retrieval to new cues, without sacrificing concrete details? Our results suggest so, highlighting the adaptive nature of episodic memory www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Episodic memory adaptively expands retrieval through typicality-guided transformation while concrete details remain accessible
Memory faces a fundamental challenge. It has to become flexible enough to be accessed by novel cues without losing the specific information that defines each individual episode. Whether memory transfo...
