Learning objectives:

By attending this presentation, audience members will learn about:

How item-specific and relational encoding strategies can be used to learn new information.

The difference between retrieving memories based upon a sense of familiarity versus recollection.

How different regions in the prefrontal cortex and medial temporal lobe control these encoding and retrieval processes.

Which encoding and retrieval processes are generally unimpaired in people with schizophrenia, as well as the memory functions that are most impaired.

How certain areas in prefrontal and medial temporal lobe memory networks are differentially impaired in schizophrenia and can explain this unique pattern of memory strengths and weaknesses.
