AbstractInformation encountered in different events, such as people and objects, can be interlinked in memory. Such memory integration supports novel inferences about the world. This study investigates the role of episodic context on memory integration in two experiments using an associative inference task. Participants encoded events with overlapping (AB and BC) and non-overlapping associations (XY) presented in the same or different episodic contexts.

Dr Ines Bramao and Prof Mikael Johansson from Lund University and PhD candidate Marius Boeltzig from University of Münster explain how political polarisation is not just happening on social media but is actually related to how our brains make connections. Memory is so much more than a storage unit in our minds. The people involved in memories influence what we recall, and, as our study shows, the connections we make between memories.

Article Summary:Memory is more than a storage unit in our minds; it’s influenced by the people involved in our memories, shaping what we recall and the connections we make between events. This study shows how liked sources enhance our ability to make inferences and form connections, while distrusted sources flag information for cautious handling. Understanding these biases can help us integrate knowledge more effectively, despite societal divides.
