“…Therefore, we deem more likely that the relational association between objects rather than their presence/absence in the scenes helped subjects to distinguish targets from foils. We thus suggest that the activation of the MTG reflects processes utilizing the relational details among objects embedded in the probe images for reaching the recognition decision [Diana et al, 2007; Finke et al, 2008; Hannula et al, 2006; Olson et al, 2006]. Future studies should consider the inclusion of some correlative behavioral measures to index familiarity processes to elucidate further this issue.…”

We investigated the neural correlates supporting three kinds of memory judgments after very short delays using naturalistic material. In two functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments, subjects watched short movie clips, and after a short retention (1.5–2.5 s), made mnemonic judgments about specific aspects of the clips. In Experiment 1, subjects were presented with two scenes and required to either choose the scene that happened earlier in the clip (“scene‐chronology”), or with a correct spatial arrangement (“scene‐layout”), or that had been shown (“scene‐recognition”). To segregate activity specific to seen versus unseen stimuli, in Experiment 2 only one probe image was presented (either target or foil). Across the two experiments, we replicated three patterns underlying the three specific forms of memory judgment. The precuneus was activated during temporal‐order retrieval, the superior parietal cortex was activated bilaterally for spatial‐related configuration judgments, whereas the medial frontal cortex during scene recognition. Conjunction analyses with a previous study that used analogous retrieval tasks, but a much longer delay (>1 day), demonstrated that this dissociation pattern is independent of retention delay. We conclude that analogous brain regions mediate task‐specific retrieval across vastly different delays, consistent with the proposal of scale‐invariance in episodic memory retrieval.

“…Counter to the widespread acceptance in the human cognitive literature of familiarity and recollection as complementary episodic retrieval processes (Diana, Yonelinas, & Ranganath, 2007;Yonelinas, 1994Yonelinas, , 2002, some authors have suggested that familiarity is a less episodic process than recollection Holland & Smulders, 2011). According to this view, the fact that tasks using time to disambiguate events can be solved using familiarity would call into question the validity of using time in tests of episodic memory.…”

“…Our data show that while sequence memory can be solved using familiarity the most accurate and common process used to recall sequence information is recollection. Given that the hippocampus has been implicated in accurate use of recollection (Fortin, Wright, & Eichenbaum, 2004;Sauvage, Fortin, Owens, Yonelinas, & Eichenbaum, 2008;Diana et al, 2007; for review see Eichenbaum et al, 2007), it is not surprising that humans and animals with damage to the hippocampus are impaired at remembering position within a sequence. Damage to the hippocampus would remove participants' ability to use recollection to solve the task resulting in a deficit.…”

Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. These models aim to capture the testable features of the definition of human episodic memory which stresses the temporal component of the memory as a unique piece of source information that allows us to disambiguate one memory from another. Recently though, it has been suggested that a more accurate model of human episodic memory would include contextual rather than temporal source information, as humans' memory for time is relatively poor. Here, two experiments were carried out investigating human memory for temporal and contextual source information, along with the underlying dual process retrieval processes, using an immersive virtual environment paired with a 'Remember-Know' memory task. Experiment 1 (n = 28) showed that contextual information could only be retrieved accurately using recollection, while temporal information could be retrieved using either recollection or familiarity.Experiment 2 (n = 24), which used a more difficult task, resulting in reduced item recognition rates and therefore less potential for contamination by ceiling effects, replicated the pattern of results from Experiment 1. Dual process theory predicts that it should only be possible to retrieve source context from an event using recollection, and our results are consistent with this prediction. That temporal information can be retrieved using familiarity alone suggests that it may be incorrect to view temporal context as analogous to other typically used source contexts. This latter finding supports the alternative proposal that time since presentation may simply be reflected in the strength of memory trace at retrieval -a measure ideally suited to trace strength interrogation using familiarity, as is typically conceptualised within the dual process framework.

“…A very close perspective, the Binding of Item and Context model (BIC), was proposed by Diana et al (2007; for a review of evidence in favour of this model, see also Ranganath, 2010). Like previous models, the BIC model proposes that the perirhinal cortex is involved in item familiarity-based recognition of items whereas the hippocampus is necessary to link one item to another or to the study context, so that the hippocampus plays a crucial role in the recollection of inter-item associations.…”

“…Reviews of these studies suggest that generally, within the MTL, recollection seems to be associated with the hippocampus and the parahippocampal cortex whereas familiarity seems to be related to the perirhinal cortex (Diana et al, 2007;Eichenbaum et al, 2007). Regarding the fMRI data suggesting that the perirhinal cortex supports familiarity, it is noteworthy that, whereas subsequent familiarity is associated with activation in the perirhinal cortex during encoding (Davachi et al, 2003;Ranganath et al, 2004b), familiarity/item memory at retrieval has been found to be associated with deactivation in this region (Gonsalves et al, 2005;Henson et al, 2005;Weis et al, 2004).…”

Item familiarity and controlled associative retrieval in Alzheimer's disease: An fMRI study

Typical Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by an impaired form of associative memory, recollection, that includes the controlled retrieval of associations. In contrast, familiarity-based memory for individual items may sometimes be preserved in the early stages of the disease. This is the first study that directly examines whole brain regional activity during one core aspect of the recollection function: associative controlled episodic retrieval (CER), contrasted to item familiarity in AD patients. Cerebral activity related to associative CER and item familiarity in AD patients and healthy controls (HC) was measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging during a word-pair recognition task to which the process dissociation procedure was applied. Some patients had null CER estimates (AD-), whereas others did show some CER abilities (AD+), although significantly less than HC. In contrast, familiarity estimates were equivalent in the three groups. In AD+, as in controls, associative CER activated the inferior precuneus/posterior cingulate cortex (PCC). When performing group comparisons, no region was found to be significantly more activated during CER in HC than AD+ and vice versa. However, during associative CER, functional connectivity between this region and the hippocampus, the inferior parietal and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) was significantly higher in HC than in AD+. In all three groups, item familiarity was related to activation along the intraparietal sulcus (IPS). In conclusion, whereas the preserved automatic detection of an old item (without retrieval of accurate word association) is related to parietal activation centred on the IPS, the inferior precuneus/PCC supports associative CER ability in AD patients, as in HC. However, AD patients have deficient functional connectivity during associative CER, suggesting that the residual recollection function in these patients might be impoverished by the lack of some recollection-related aspects such as autonoetic quality, episodic details and verification.
