Document Summary
Speeded recognition tests have shown that item recognition tests (was this item studied) are made more quickly than associative recognition tests (when or where was this item studied) Yonelinas has proposed that familiarity reflects the strength of the memory trace (an is quantitative) Amnesics are much more impaired on associative recognition tests than on item recognition tests. Analysis of confidence intervals has shown that only 1 type of process (curvilinear) is required to account for recognition performance. Functional characteristics of amnesia working memory is intact semantic memory is spared (controversial) episodic memory is impaired procedural memory is intact. Brain regions mediating declarative memory what is common appears to be the circuit linking regions in the temporal lobes, the hippocampus, the mammiliary bodies and regions of the thalamus (note: review korsakoff s) Next slides will review this in more detail.
