Temporal Predictability

We live in a dynamic and changing environment, which necessitates that we adapt to and efficiently respond to changes of stimulus form (‘what’) and stimulus occurrence (‘when’). Consequently, behaviour is optimal when we can anticipate both the ‘what’ and ‘when’ dimensions of a stimulus. For example, to perceive a temporally expected stimulus, a listener needs to establish a fairly precise internal representation of its external temporal structure, a function ascribed to classical sensorimotor areas such as the cerebellum. Here we investigated how patients with cerebellar lesions and healthy matched controls exploit temporal regularity during auditory deviance processing. We expected modulations of the N2b and P3b components of the event-related potential in response to deviant tones, and also a stronger P3b response when deviant tones are embedded in temporally regular compared to irregular tone sequences. We further tested to what degree structural damage to the cerebellar temporal processing system affects the N2b and P3b responses associated with voluntary attention to change detection and the predictive adaptation of a mental model of the environment, respectively. Results revealed that healthy controls and cerebellar patients display an increased N2b response to deviant tones independent of temporal context. However, while healthy controls showed the expected enhanced P3b response to deviant tones in temporally regular sequences, the P3b response in cerebellar patients was significantly smaller in these sequences. The current data provide evidence that structural damage to the cerebellum affects the predictive adaptation to the temporal structure of events and the updating of a mental model of the environment under voluntary attention.

Cue Processing

Successful retrieval of episodic memories has been shown to depend on the overlap between the processes engaged during encoding and those re-engaged during retrieval. The ability to strategically adapt cue processing to maximize this overlap, sometimes referred to as “retrieval orientation”, has been supported by numerous studies employing electroencephalography (EEG), which demonstrate differences according to the class of memories being sought. However, research in this domain has largely focused on event-related potential (ERP) effects of sustained amplitude that occur after the onset of retrieval cues, thereby failing to indicate whether such effects might be engaged in a preparatory manner before cue onset. Here, we describe two experiments that addressed this issue by employing an analysis approach focusing on the pre-stimulus period of retrieval test trials and capitalizing on the increased sensitivity of multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) of oscillatory activity. Experiment 1 established evidence of a preparatory form of retrieval orienting and examined the potential fluctuation versus stability of such processing. Experiment 2 attempted to directly modulate the engagement of orienting processes by parametrically manipulating the extent to which responses during the retrieval task are speeded. By novelly quantifying the relationship between multivariate neural correlates of retrieval orientation and behavioral measures of performance, and testing how orienting might be flexibly adjusted to meet task demands, the current project serves as a starting point for developing techniques aimed at improving episodic memory retrieval through strategic control.

Abstract Prospective memory (PM) enables people to remember to complete important tasks in the future. Failing to do so can result in consequences of varying severity. Here, we investigated how PM error-consequence severity impacts the neural processing of relevant cues for triggering PM and the ramification of that processing on the associated prospective task performance. Participants role-played a cafeteria worker serving lunches to fictitious students and had to remember to deliver an alternative lunch to students (as PM cues) who would otherwise experience a moderate or severe aversive reaction. Scalp-recorded, event-related potential (ERP) measures showed that the early-latency frontal positivity, reflecting the perception-based neural responses to previously learned stimuli, did not differ between the severe versus moderate PM cues. In contrast, the longer-latency parietal positivity, thought to reflect full PM cue recognition and post-retrieval processes, was elicited earlier by the severe than the moderate PM cues. This faster instantiation of the parietal positivity to the severe-consequence PM cues was then followed by faster and more accurate behavioral responses. These findings indicate how the relative importance of a PM can be neurally instantiated in the form of enhanced and faster PM-cue recognition and processing and culminate into better PM.
