Introduction
Celia Fidalgo currently works at the Department of Psychology, University of Toronto. Celia does research in Cognitive Psychology and Neuropsychology. Her current project examines how older adults use distinctive characteristics of events to help them separate those episodes in memory.

Associative memory deficits in aging are frequently characterized by false recognition of novel stimulus associations, particularly when stimuli are similar. Introducing distinctive stimuli, therefore, can help guide item differentiation in memory and can further our understanding of how age-related brain changes impact behavior. How older adults u...
The thalamic nuclei are thought to play a critical role in recognition memory. Specifically, the anterior thalamic nuclei and medial dorsal nuclei may serve as critical output structures in distinct hippocampal and perirhinal cortex systems, respectively. Existing evidence indicates that damage to the anterior thalamic nuclei leads to impairments i...
Interference disrupts information processing across many timescales, from immediate perception to memory over short and long durations. The widely held similarity assumption states that as similarity between interfering information and memory contents increases, so too does the degree of impairment. However, information is lost from memory in diffe...
Abstract in Journal of Vision.
There is an ongoing debate regarding the nature of memory deficits that occur in the early stages of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). MCI has been associated with atrophy to regions that process objects, namely perirhinal and lateral entorhinal cortices. However, it is currently unclear whether older adults with early MCI will show memory deficits...
The ability to encode and retrieve the spatial relationships among elements of our environment is one way in which episodic memory supports adaptive behavior. Allocentric spatial memory refers specifically to mnemonic representations that capture viewpoint-invariant relations among items, as well as
