A paper, including peer commentaries, that argues for a tight coupling between implicit and explicit memory processes: Voss, J. L., Lucas, H. D., & Paller, K. A. (2012). More than a feeling: Pervasive influences of memory without awareness of retrieval. Cognitive Neuroscience, 3(3–4), 193-207. http://explore.tandfonline.com/page/beh/students-guide-to-cognitive-neuroscience-related-articles/
A contemporary account of working memory, based largely on neuroimaging evidence, that argues that working memory is the temporary activation of long-term memory: D’Esposito, M. (2007). From cognitive to neural models of working memory. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B-Biological Sciences, 362(1481), 761–772.
An overview of the “standard consolidation model” that proposes a time-limited role for the hippocampus in the consolidation of memories: Squire, L. R. & Bayey, P. J. (2007). The neuroscience of remote memory. Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 17(2), 185–196.
An alternative account to the “standard consolidation model” that argues that the hippocampus and neocortex have different roles, rather than the same memories being transferred between structures: Winocur, G., Moscovitch, M., & Bontempi, B. (2010). Memory formation and long-term retention in humans and animals: Convergence towards a transformation account of hippocampal–neocortical interactions. Neuropsychologia, 48(8), 2339–2356.
