Sleep enhances explicit recollection in recognition memory

Sleep enhances explicit recollection in recognition memory.

Recognition memory is considered to be supported by two different memory processes, i.e., the explicit recollection of information about a previous event and an implicit process of recognition based on an acontextual sense of familiarity. Both types of memory supposedly rely on distinct memory systems. Sleep is known to enhance the consolidation of memories, with the different sleep stages affe...

Slow wave sleep and recollection in recognition memory.

Recognition memory performance reflects two distinct memory processes: a conscious process of recollection, which allows remembering specific details of a previous event, and familiarity, which emerges in the absence of any conscious information about the context in which the event occurred. Slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are differentially involved in the consolidatio...

Illusory Recollection 1 Running Head: ILLUSORY RECOLLECTION Illusory Recollection and Dual-Process Models of Recognition Memory

Higham and Vokey (2000, Experiments 1 & 3) demonstrated that a slight increase in the display duration of a briefly presented word prior to displaying it in the clear for a recognition response increased the bias to respond “old”. In this research, 3 experiments investigated the phenomenology associated with this illusion of memory using the standard R-K procedure and a new, independent-scales ...

Recollection and familiarity in recognition memory: Evidence from ROC curves

Assessing the dissociability of recollection and familiarity in recognition memory.

Recognition memory is often modeled as constituting 2 separate processes, recollection and familiarity, rather than as constituting a single process mediated by a generic latent strength. One way of stating evidence for the more complex 2-process model is to show dissociations with select manipulations, in which one manipulation affects recollection more than the second and the second affects f...
