When Amnesic Patients Perform Well on Recognition Memory Tests
Behavioral Neuroscience In the public domain 1997, Vol. Ill, No. 6,1163-1170 When Amnesic Patients Perform Well on Recognition Memory Tests Jonathan M. Reed Stephan B. Hamann University of California, San Diego Emory University Lisa Stefanacci Larry R. Squire University of California, San Diego University of California, San Diego and Veterans Affairs Medical Center Extended exposure to study material can markedly improve subsequent recognition memory performance in amnesic patients, even the densely amnesic patient H.M. To understand this phenomenon, the severely amnesic patient E.P., 3 other amnesic patients, and controls studied pictorial material and then were given either a yes-no (Experiment 1) or a 2-alternative, forced-choice (Experiment 2) recognition test. The amnesic patients and controls benefited substantially from extended exposure, but patient E.P. consistently performed at chance. Furthermore, confidence ratings corresponded to recognition accuracy. The results do not support the idea that the benefit of extended study time is due to some kind of familiarity process made available through nondeclarative memory. It is likely that amnesic patients benefit from extended study time to the extent that they have residual capacity for declarative memory. Declarative memory involves the conscious (explicit) Piercy, 1979). Even the severely amnesic patient H.M. recollection of facts and events and is supported by medial (Scoville & Milner, 1957) correctly recognized 78.8% of the temporal lobe and diencephalic brain structures (Schacter & items on a yes-no recognition memory test after studying Tulving, 1994; Squire, 1992; Weiskrantz, 1990).

Odor Memory: Review and Analysis
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review 1996,3 (3), 300--313 Odor memory: Review and analysis RACHEL S. HERZ Monell Chemical Senses Center,Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and TRYGGENGEN Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island Wecritically review the cognitive literature on olfactory memory and identify the similarities and differences between odor memory and visual-verbal memory. We then analyze this literature using criteria from a multiple memory systems approach to determine whether olfactory memory can be considered to be a separate memory system. Weconclude that olfactory memory has a variety of im portant distinguishing characteristics, but that more data are needed to confer this distinction. We suggest methods for the study of olfactory memory that should make a resolution on the separate memory system hypothesis possible while simultaneously advancing a synthetic understanding of ol faction and cognition.

A Hippocampal Model of Recognition Memory
A Hippocampal Model of Recognition Memory Randall C. O'Reilly Kenneth A. Norman Department of Psychology Department of Psychology University of Colorado at Boulder Harvard University Campus Box 345 33 Kirkland Street Boulder, CO 80309-0345 Cambridge, MA 02138 [email protected] [email protected] James L. McClelland Department of Psychology and Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 [email protected] Abstract A rich body of data exists showing that recollection of specific infor- mation makes an important contribution to recognition memory, which is distinct from the contribution of familiarity, and is not adequately cap- tured by existing unitary memory models. Furthermore, neuropsycholog- ical evidence indicates that recollection is subserved by the hippocampus. We present a model, based largely on known features of hippocampal anatomy and physiology, that accounts for the following key character- istics of recollection: 1) false recollection is rare (i.e., participants rarely claim to recollect having studied nonstudied items), and 2) increasing in- terference leads to less recollection but apparently does not compromise the quality of recollection (i.e., the extent to which recollected informa- tion veridically reflects events that occurred at study). 1 Introduction For nearly 50 years, memory researchers have known that our ability to remember specific past episodes depends critically on the hippocampus. In this paper, we describe our initial attempt to use a mechanistically explicit model of hippocampal function to explain a wide range of human memory data. Our understanding of hippocampal function from a computational and biological perspec- tive is based on our prior work (McClelland, McNaughton, & O’Reilly, 1995; O’Reilly & McClelland, 1994). -

Introduction to Visual Recognition
Neurobiology 130/230. Visual Object Recognition Gabriel Kreiman© LECTURE NOTES 2015 BEWARE: These are preliminary notes. In the future, they will become part of a textbook on Visual Object Recognition. Chapter 1: Introduction to visual recognition The greatest challenge of our times is to understand how our brains function. The conversations and maneuvers of several billion neurons in our brains are responsible for our ability to interpret sensory information, to navigate, to communicate, to have feelings and love, to make decisions and plans for the future, to learn. Understanding how neural circuits give rise to these functions will transform our lives: it will enable us to alleviate the ubiquitous mental health conditions that afflict millions, it will lead to building truly artificial intelligence machines that are as smart as or smarter than we are, and it will open the doors to understand who we are. As a paradigmatic example, we will focus here on one of the most exquisite pieces of neural machinery ever evolved: the visual system. In a small fraction of a second, we can get a glimpse of an image and capture a very large amount of information. For example, we can take a look at the picture in Figure 1.1 and ask a series of questions including Who is there, What is there, Where is this place, What was the weather like, How many people are there, What are they doing, What is the relationship between people in the picture? We can even make educated guesses about a potential narrative including answering questions such as What happened before, What will happen next. -
Separating the Brain Regions Involved in Recollection and Familiarity in Recognition Memory
3002 • The Journal of Neuroscience, March 16, 2005 • 25(11):3002–3008 Behavioral/Systems/Cognitive Separating the Brain Regions Involved in Recollection and Familiarity in Recognition Memory Andrew P. Yonelinas,1 Leun J. Otten,2 Kendra N. Shaw,1 and Michael D. Rugg3 1Department of Psychology, University of California Davis, Davis, California 95616, 2Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Department of Psychology, University College London, London WC1E 6BT, United Kingdom, and 3Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory and Department of Neurobiology and Behavior, University of California Irvine, Irvine, California 92697 The neural substrates of recognition memory retrieval were examined in a functional magnetic resonance imaging study designed to separate activity related to recollection from that related to continuous variations in familiarity. Across a variety of brain regions, the neural signature of recollection was found to be distinct from familiarity, demonstrating that recollection cannot be attributed to familiarity strength. In the prefrontal cortex, an anterior medial region was related to recollection, but lateral regions, including the anterior and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, were related to familiarity. Along the lateral parietal cortex, two functionally distinct regions were also observed: a lateral parietal/temporal region related to recollection and a more superior parietal region involved in familiarity. Similarly, in medial parietal regions, the posterior cingulate was related to recollection, whereas the precuneus was related to familiarity. The hippocampus was related to recollection, but also exhibited an inverse relationship to familiarity-driven recognition confidence. The results indicate that recollection and familiarity rely on different networks of brain regions and provide insights into the functional roles of different regions involved in episodic recognition memory. -
