Summary: This study investigates the role of different medial temporal lobe structures in recognition memory, finding that recollection and familiarity depend on different structures. The results also highlight the unique roles of the hippocampus and parahippocampal structures in recognition memory.

Summary: This study examines the impact of constrained retrieval on the encoding of foils and the roles of recognition-familiarity and recollection. The results show better recognition performance for semantic trials, but inferior performance for semantic foils. The findings suggest that different retrieval processes are used in semantic and non-semantic trials during constrained retrieval, and this difference affects the incidental encoding of foils.

Summary: The Dunning-Kruger effect is a metacognitive phenomenon that has been studied by designing experiments and analyzing EEG and reaction time data. High and low estimators use different cognitive strategies, with high estimators possibly relying more on familiarity and low estimators more on recollection.

Summary: Episodic memory involves storage of events with their spatio-temporal context and retrieval of the link between the person and the episode. Mobile-phone encoding, virtual town exploration, and standard laboratory paradigm were used to examine memory. Accurate context-memory increased remember responses, and participants were tested on temporal-order judgement.Temporal similarity model showed scale-invariant properties of order-retrieval with contribution of non-chronological factors.

Summary: The study found that compared to patients with unilateral temporal-lobe epilepsy, patients with bilateral temporal-lobe epilepsy not only exhibit deficits in familiarity but also in recollection, involving hippocampal abnormalities. The results confirm the contribution of the rhinal cortex to the generation of false familiarity in deja vu.

Summary: The study compared the fMRI correlates of recollection and familiarity in healthy young and older adults using a modified remember-know paradigm. While recognition memory accuracy was lower in older adults, estimates of recollection and familiarity strength were statistically equivalent between the two age groups. Age-invariant fMRI effects were observed in specific brain regions sensitive to recollection and familiarity.

Summary: This study investigated the brain's electrical activity signaling and changes in the EEG theta band during the retrieval of episodic memory. The results showed that attentional components N200 and P300, as well as the theta band, were sensitive to the amount of information retrieved from episodic memory. The FN400 and LPC components were found to be higher in total retrieval and spatial trials, indicating familiarity and recollection markers, respectively.

Summary: The production effect is the finding that reading words aloud during study improves memory. Using EEG techniques, the study found that reading aloud enhances recollection, familiarity, attention, and distinctiveness in recognition memory. These findings suggest that reading aloud not only increases attention but also improves memory performance.

Summary: Self-reference has an impact on false memory in different age groups, with younger adults generating more self-relevant phantom recollection and older adults experiencing increased self-relevant false familiarity.

Summary: In a Chinese context, searching for a familiar target among familiar distractors is an inefficient process, and the familiarity of the target does not influence search efficiency in familiar distractor situations. Additionally, extra working memory load does not impair the efficiency of searching for a target among familiar distractors.

Summary: Research indicates that during repeated memory processes, there is a sustained modulation of the midfrontal P170 component and a decline in parietal. The recruitment of a neural network supporting long-term memory accelerates the maintenance of visual working memory, as shown by enhanced midfrontal P170 responses and specific brain activity in longer-term consolidation.

Summary: This study investigated declarative memory retrieval in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), finding that they had poorer recognition, recollection, and familiarity-based memories compared to typically-developed individuals. This may be due to difficulties in matching non-matching information to stored schema. These findings may inform intervention strategies for enhancing learning abilities in individuals with ASD.

Summary: Recent studies suggest that the recollection deficit observed in schizophrenia may vary depending on the nature of the information to retrieve. The research found that schizophrenia patients tend to reject old faces as distractors more than healthy controls, and facial expression changes affect the memory effect differently between the two groups. The study also showed that schizophrenia patients rely more on study-test mismatch signals rather than critical information recollection compared to healthy controls.

Summary: The study examined the mnemonic effect of spontaneous insight using ERPs technique and behavioral measures, finding that spontaneous insight solutions elicited more negative deflection during the study phase and faster recognition during the recognition test phase. Additionally, spontaneous insight solutions also showed a more positive deflection in a specific time window after the onset of the answer, suggesting different encoding mechanisms for items solved with insight versus without insight.

Summary: This study found that identification RTs were faster in trials with correct retrieval of source information compared with trials for which source could not be accurately retrieved. This suggests that familiarity-based processes are related to source memory judgements.

Summary: A police lineup typically includes a photo of a suspect and photos of innocent fillers to prevent the suspect from standing out. Research on the best filler selection method remains inconclusive, but signal detection theory has been shown to provide a useful theoretical framework for understanding eyewitness identification decisions from a police lineup.

Summary: Previous studies have identified generic and item-specific memory signals in the human hippocampus, and this study finds that both types of signals can be detected in hippocampal neurons in the same experiment. The generic signal is found in multiple brain regions, while the item-specific signal is exclusive to the hippocampus and exhibits sparse coding.

Summary: Slamecka and McElree (1983) and Rivera-Lares et al. (2022) conducted factorial experiments to manipulate the number of learning trials and the retention interval. They found that more study trials led to a higher initial degree of learning, and a longer retention interval resulted in more forgotten items. However, the interaction between these factors was not significant, contrary to the power law that characterizes forgetting. When the power function was applied to the data, it showed that a higher degree of learning led to a lower relative rate of forgetting. This suggests that the relative rate of forgetting is theoretically relevant.

Summary: Police investigators worldwide use lineups to test eyewitness memory of a suspect, and decades of research have led to improved procedures. The similarity between lineup fillers and the suspect affects the witness's decision-making process. Witnesses rely on a decision variable that considers the distinctiveness of a face in the lineup compared to others, leading to the optimal choice of fillers matching the suspect's basic features but being otherwise dissimilar.
