Autobiographical Memory Retrieval and Hippocampal Activation as a Function of Repetition and the Passage of Time
Multiple trace theory (MTT) predicts that hippocampal memory traces expand and strengthen as a function of repeated memory retrievals. We tested this hypothesis utilizing fMRI, comparing the effect of memory retrieval versus the mere passage of time on hippocampal activation. While undergoing fMRI s...
