Recognition memory tasks in neuroendocrine research

Controlled retrieval processing in recognition memory exclusion tasks.

ERPs were acquired in the test phases of two memory tasks where three classes of word were presented: (i) words encountered in a study phase (studied words), (ii) words presented at test for the first time (new words), and (iii) new words repeated after a lag of 7-9 words (repeated test words). In Experiment 1, participants responded on one key to studied words (targets) and on a second to repe...

Of Multiprocess Models for Memory to Continuous Recognition Tasks

Korean Facial Emotion Recognition Tasks for Schizophrenia Research

OBJECTIVE Despite the fact that facial emotion recognition (FER) tasks using Western faces should be applied with caution to non-Western participants or patients, there are few psychometrically sound and validated FER tasks featuring Easterners' facial expressions for emotions. Thus, we aimed to develop and establish the psychometric properties of the Korean Facial Emotion Identification Task (...

Are There Multiple Kinds of Episodic Memory? An fMRI Investigation Comparing Autobiographical and Recognition Memory Tasks.

What brain regions underlie retrieval from episodic memory? The bulk of research addressing this question with fMRI has relied upon recognition memory for materials encoded within the laboratory. Another, less dominant tradition has used autobiographical methods, whereby people recall events from their lifetime, often after being cued with words or pictures. The current study addresses how the ...

Neuroendocrine basis of social recognition.

Studies conducted in the past two years have yielded several new insights about neuroendocrine regulation of social recognition. The social recognition deficits seen in oxytocin knockout mice have now been demonstrated in both males and females, as well as in female estrogen receptor knockout mice. The male vasopressin V1A receptor knockout mouse (but not V1B) has a profound social recognition ...
