A contextual binding theory of episodic memory: systems consolidation reconsidered. Yonelinas, A. P., Ranganath, C., Ekstrom, A. D., & Wiltgen, B. J.

Paper doi abstract bibtex Episodic memory reflects the ability to recollect the temporal and spatial context of past experiences. Episodic memories depend on the hippocampus, but have been proposed to undergo forgetting unless consolidated during off-line periods like sleep to neocortical areas for long-term storage. Here, we propose an alternative to systems consolidation theory — a contextual binding account — in which the hippocampus binds item- and context-related information. We compare this account with behavioral, lesion, neuroimaging and sleep studies of episodic memory, and contend that forgetting is largely due to contextual interference. Accordingly, episodic memory remains dependent on the hippocampus across time, contextual drift produces post-encoding activity, and sleep benefits memory by reducing contextual interference.
