Prediction Errors for Aversive Events Shape Long-Term Memory Formation through a Distinct Neural Mechanism

Published: Nov 28, 2021
Abstract
Prediction errors (PEs) have been known for decades to guide associative learning, but their role in episodic memory formation has been discovered only recently. To identify the neural mechanisms underlying the impact of aversive PEs on long-term memory formation, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging, while participants saw a series of unique stimuli and estimated the probability that an aversive shock would follow. Our behavioral data...
