Studying Familiarity of Different Stimulus Types

چکیده
Introduction People give different neural responses to familiar and unfamiliar stimuli in their environment. Distinct brain regions related to recognition of familiar and unfamiliar faces, sounds or scenes have been widely demonstrated in the fMRI studies [1-3]. We aim to explore how previous job related experience about a specific stimulus type affects the extend and location of fMRI response regions.

Different variables predict anomia in different subjects: a longitudinal study of two Alzheimer's patients.
Two Alzheimer's patients participated in a longitudinal study of picture naming aimed at analysing the effect of lexical frequency, age of acquisition, stimulus familiarity, word length, name imageability, visual complexity and semantic category membership on naming success. The results were analysed with a new method [Capitani, E., & Laiacona, M. (2004). A method for studying the evolution of ...

Therefore, studying methods and skills should be considered in all educational levels ,especially higher education.The purpose of this research is to determine the level of students’ familiarity with studying ...
متن کاملCapacity of perirhinal cortex network for recognising frequently repeating stimuli
Much evidence indicates that discrimination of the familiarity of visual stimuli is dependent on the perirhinal cortex of the temporal lobe. A stimulus can become familiar to animals or humans either when a stimulus is seen once but is behaviourally significant, or when a stimulus is not significant but repeats many times. This paper shows that a previously developed network model of familiarit...
متن کاملMaterial Specificity Drives Medial Temporal Lobe Familiarity But Not Hippocampal Recollection
The specific role of the perirhinal (PRC), entorhinal (ERC) and parahippocampal cortices (PHC) in supporting familiarity-based recognition remains unknown. An fMRI study explored whether these medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures responded in the same way or differentially to familiarity as a function of stimulus type at recognition. A secondary aim was to explore whether the hippocampus respo...
متن کاملDissociating intentional learning from relative novelty responses in the medial temporal lobe.
The establishment of a role for medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures in episodic memory has led to an investigative focus on the specific contributions and interactions between constituent MTL regions, including the hippocampus and surrounding medial temporal cortices. By dissociating an intentional stimulus-category learning condition from a passive viewing condition, we demonstrate, using fM...
