In the past, we did research on the effects of imagination on memory. We are currently studying whether the semantic context in which people encode words promotes retention of familiarity based memories. Our study is based off theories that suggest the brain stores recollected memories and familiar memories in different areas of the brain, and that each of these structures forget memories in different ways. We have hypothesized that the semantic context in which we encode words matters for familiarity but not for recollection or re-experienced memories. Recollected memories are hypothesized to be stored in the hippocampus, independent from semantic knowledge, while familiarity based memories are stored in neocortical regions which store semantic knowledge. The study is structured to show that semantic context helps retain familiarity based memory while not influencing recollected memories. We hope to find results that support our hypothesis in the near future.
