Preferred term

attention-to-memory hypothesis  

Definition

  • The hypothesis according to which “DPC [dorsal parietal cortex] supports the allocation of attentional resources to memory retrieval operations, for example during memory search and post-retrieval monitor (top-down attention to memory), whereas VPC [ventral parietal cortex] mediates the change in the locus of attention following detection of relevant memories (bottom-up attention to memory […])” (Ciameralli & Moscovitch, 2020, p. 2).
