Sensorimnemonic decisions: choosing memories versus sensory information.

Kumle L., Nobre AC., Draschkow D.

We highlight a fundamental psychological function that is central to many of our interactions in the environment - when to rely on memories versus sampling sensory information anew to guide behavior. By operationalizing sensorimnemonic decisions we aim to encourage and advance research into this pivotal process for understanding how memories serve adaptive cognition.
