New preprint! Statistical structure skews object memory toward predictable successors. Model simulations show how this bias can arise from the backward expansion of hippocampal representations.

Why forgetting might actually be a good thing
Our tendency to forget names, passwords, and skills is a source of endless frustration. However, this forgetfulness might actually be crucial for optimal brain function.
