DOI: 10.1002/wps.21280
Abstract: Although trauma‐focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF‐CBT) is the recommended treatment for post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), up to one‐half of patients do not respond to this intervention. There is an urgent need to develop new strategies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12144-018-9930-7
Abstract: The most commonly used measure of autobiographical memory specificity is the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT). There is substantial variability in the manner in which this test is administered. One such variation involves the format of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.brat.2017.04.005
Abstract: Studies on autobiographical memory retrieval highlight the prominence of rapid and direct access to a specific event memory. Because it has been believed that autobiographical memory retrieval mostly relies on an effortful generative process, there… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.brat.2020.103783
Abstract: Given modest response and high relapse after treatment for Major Depressive Episodes (MDE), the development and refinement of treatments to target cognitive vulnerabilities is indicated. Memory Specificity Training (MeST) remediates deficits in recalling detailed memories… read more here.

Response styles to sad mood and self-esteem as predictors of autobiographical memory: Distinctions between memory specificity and detail
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Personality and Individual Differences"
DOI: 10.1016/j.paid.2020.110142
Abstract: Abstract Past studies have found that ruminative responses to sad mood contribute to impaired autobiographical memory (AM) retrieval. We tested the theoretical proposition that generalized negative beliefs about the self increase the impact of rumination,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cdev.14089
Abstract: Memory enables generalization to new situations, and memory specificity that preserves individual episodes. This study investigated generalization, memory specificity, and their overnight fate in 141 4- to 8-year-olds (computerized memory game; 71 females, tested 2020-2021… read more here.

A study protocol for a randomised trial of adjunct computerised memory specificity training (c-MeST) for major depression in youth: targeting cognitive mechanisms to enhance usual care outcomes in mental health settings
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Trials"
DOI: 10.1186/s13063-019-4036-6
Abstract: Background Youth depression is highly prevalent and is related to impairments in academic, social and behavioural functioning. Evidence-based treatments are available, but many young people do not respond or sufficiently recover with first-line options, and… read more here.

Aging and episodic memory specificity: Evidence challenging a domain-general pattern separation decline
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "PLOS One"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0336045
Abstract: Aging is associated with a decline in episodic memory specificity. This phenomenon has been observed across various memory tasks, such as the Mnemonic Similarity Task (MST), where older adults show a heightened tendency to falsely… read more here.
