AbstractTo effectively function in an ever-changing environment, the brain is proposed to make predictions about upcoming information. However, the association between prediction and memory formation and the role of between-subject neural variability in this relationship is unclear. To shed light on the relationship between prediction and memory, the present study reanalysed data from Jano and colleagues (2023).

AbstractPrediction and memory are strongly intertwined, with predictions relying on memory retrieval, whilst also influencing memory encoding. However, it is unclear how predictability influences explicit memory performance, and how individual neural factors may modulate this relationship. The current study sought to investigate the effect of predictability on memory processing with an analysis of the N400 event-related potential in a context extending beyond language.

AbstractThe extent to which the brain predicts upcoming information during language processing remains controversial. To shed light on this debate, the present study reanalysed Nieuwland and colleagues′ (2018) replication of DeLong et al. (2005). Participants (N = 356) viewed sentences containing articles and nouns of varying predictability, while their electroencephalogram was recorded.

AbstractPrediction and memory are strongly intertwined, with predictions relying on memory retrieval, whilst also influencing memory encoding. However, it is unclear how prediction errors during learning, as measured by the N400 event-related potential (ERP), influence explicit memory performance, and how individual neural factors may modulate this relationship.
