Abstract

The article focuses on research examining how memory updating involves detecting changes between similar events and preserving their temporal order. Two experiments using the Mnemonic Similarity Task found that accurately rejecting similar lures during recognition supports better subsequent temporal memory, particularly when participants consciously remembered both versions of an object, indicating memory for change. These findings suggest that retrieval and comparison processes during mnemonic discrimination help encode information distinguishing earlier from later events. The study aims to integrate cognitive and neural perspectives on episodic memory updating. This research is based on a preprint that has not yet undergone peer review. [Extracted from the article]
