Event-related brain potential correlates of two states of conscious awareness in memory

Abstract: We report an event-related potential (ERP) experiment of human recognition memory that explored the relation between conscious awareness and electrophysiological activity of the brain. We recorded ERPs from healthy adults while they made "remember" and "know" recognition judgments about previously seen words. These two kinds of judgments ref lect "autonoetic" and "noetic" awareness, respectively. The ERP effects differed between the two kinds of awareness while they were similar for "true" and "false" recognit… Show more

“…5) correlates with the degree to which subjects must closely monitor modest differences in item familiarity, an orientation that is particularly important when contextual recollection is unavailable or non-diagnostic. This interpretation is consistent with (a) demonstrations that involvement of right frontopolar and dorsolateral PFC during yes-no recognition appears to depend on the subject's expectancy regarding the ratio of old to new items on the test list [24], (b) neuropsychological evidence showing an inordinately high false recognition rate in a patient with right PFC damage [58,59], (c) ERP and fMRI evidence implicating right PFC with acontextual "know" and low confidence recognition responses [21,25,60], and (d) ERP data showing preferential involvement at electrodes over right PFC during discrimination following shallow compared to deep encoding [13].…”

“…However, items that are more familiar for a variety of reasons show earlier and/ or stronger activity than less familiar items, including in our study perceptual matching, consistent with Schloerscheidt and Rugg (2004). In addition to prior study, greater familiarity may be related to greater confidence (Woodruff et al, 2006), greater gist memory (Curran et al, 2001;Duzel et al, 1997;Goldmann et al, 2003), and greater fluency (Wolk et al, 2004(Wolk et al, , 2005. (It should also be noted that some researchers view this 300 to 500 ms modulation of activity as related to conceptual priming, rather than familiarity (Voss & Paller, 2006).…”

“…The rationale behind identifying these two components with processes of familiarity and recollection comes from two sources: First, the later parietal positivity is observed to be greater when participants make "remember" judgments than when they make "know" judgments (Düzel, Yonelinas, Mangun, Heinze, & Tulving, 1997); second, the later parietal positivity is selectively associated with correct source memory judgments (Wilding & Rugg, 1997).…”
