Neuroimaging of declarative memory is not an endeavor divorced from psychology but, instead, is another path through which a more complete understanding of memory has emerged. Specifically, neuroimaging allows us to determine if differences between memory states emerge from quantitatively or qualitatively distinct underlying encoding operations. Further, it has allowed for greater specification of the putative control operations adopted when we make decisions about our memories. We describe some examples of insights provided by neuroimaging into the many and varied processes that support encoding and retrieval of declarative memory.
陈述性记忆的神经影像学研究并非与心理学毫无关联,相反,它是促成对记忆更全面理解的另一条途径。具体而言,神经影像学使我们能够确定记忆状态之间的差异是否源于数量上或质量上截然不同的潜在编码操作。此外,它还能更明确地说明当我们对自己的记忆做出决策时所采用的假定控制操作。我们描述了一些神经影像学提供的见解示例,这些见解涉及支持陈述性记忆编码和提取的诸多不同过程。
