“…This presumably reflects the fact that when the external cue is ambiguous “??? ?”, the observers expectations will vary from trial-to-trial as a function of uncontrolled factors such as random response and/or stimulus clustering during the serial presentation of the materials, and this would be consistent with recent behavioral work noting that there are sequential dependencies of the responses of observers during more standard recognition paradigms (Malmberg & Annis, 2012). However, it is the fact that these uncued responses can either be amplified or completely eliminated via the active cues that is important, since it is only under this situation that the experimenter is actively controlling the expectations of the observers.…”

Unexpected novelty and familiarity orienting responses in lateral parietal cortex during recognition judgment

2013

The role of lateral parietal cortex during recognition memory is heavily debated. We examined parietal activation during an Explicit Memory Cueing recognition paradigm that biases participants towards expecting novel or familiar stimuli on a trial-by-trial basis using anticipatory cues (“Likely Old”, “Likely New”), compared to trials with neutral cues (“????”). Three qualitatively distinct patterns were observed in the left lateral parietal cortex. An unexpected novelty response occurred in left anterior intraparietal cortex (IPS)/post-central gyrus (PoCG) in which greater activation was observed for new versus old materials following the “Likely Old” cue, but not following the “Likely New” cue. In contrast, anterior angular gyrus demonstrated an unexpected familiarity response with greater activation for old versus new materials following the “Likely New” cue, but not the “Likely Old” cue. Thus these two regions demonstrated increased responses that were selective for either new or old materials respectively, but only when they were unexpected. In contrast, a mid IPS area demonstrated greater response for whichever class of memoranda was unanticipated given the cue condition (an unexpected memory response). Analogous response patterns in regions outside of parietal cortex, and the results of a resting state connectivity analysis, suggested these three response patterns were associated with visuo-spatial orienting following unexpected novelty, source monitoring operations following unexpected familiarity, and general executive control processes following violated expectations. These findings support a Memory Orienting Model of the left lateral parietal cortex in which the region is linked to the investigation of unexpected novelty or familiarity in the environment.

“…For example, 2HTM with this ancillary assumption predicts linear ROCs. On the other hand, the existence of individual differences in response styles in the use of extreme response categories and response strategies (e.g., Hamilton, 1968;Tourangeau, Rips, & Rasinski, 2000), intraindividual variations and sequential dependencies in scale usage (e.g., Haubensak, 1992;Malmberg & Annis, 2012) and the possibility of random errors (e.g., Rieskamp, 2008) suggest that a certain proportion of responses generated from detect/recollection states might be mapped on less than highest confidence ratings. But as soon as this possibility is admitted, models with detection/recollection states can predict ROCs shaped like those predicted by UVSD (e.g., , diminishing the potential of ROC data to discriminate between these models.…”

Recognition memory models and binary-response ROCs: A comparison by minimum description length

2013

Model comparison in recognition memory has frequently relied on receiver operating characteristics (ROC) data. We present a meta-analysis of binary-response ROC data that builds on previous such meta-analyses and extends them in several ways. Specifically, we include more data and consider a much more comprehensive set of candidate models. Moreover, we bring to bear modern developments in model selection on the current selection problem. The new methods are based on the minimum description length framework, leading to the normalized maximum likelihood (NML) index for assessing model performance, taking into account differences between the models in flexibility due to functional form. Overall, NML results for individual ROC data indicate a preference for a discrete-state model that assumes a mixture of detection and guessing states.

“…Because the pictures were highly memorable, there was little variability in accuracy, even at very long lags. In addition the RT data are minimally affected by sequential dependencies, which are known to affect RTs in recognition memory (Malmberg & Annis, 2012). Because of the use of highly memorable pictures, wide range of lags tested, and the elimination of sequential dependencies, the Brady et al (2008) is well-suited to study the effect of recency on RT distributions.…”

In continuous recognition the recency effect manifests as a decrease in accuracy and a sublinear increase in response time (RT) with the lag of a repeated stimulus. The recency effect could result from the gradual weakening of mnemonic traces. Alternatively, the recency effect could result from a search through a compressed timeline of recent experience. These two hypotheses make very different predictions about the shape of response time distributions. Using highly-memorable pictures to mitigate changes in accuracy enabled a detailed examination of the effect of recency on retrieval dynamics. The recency at which pictures were repeated ranged over two orders of magnitude across three experiments. Analysis of the RT distributions showed that the time at which memories became accessible changed with the recency of the probe, as predicted by a serial search model suggesting that visual memories can be accessed by sequentially scanning along a compressed representation of the past.In recognition memory experiments participants must determine whether a probe stimulus has been previously experienced or not. As the recency of a repeated probe decreases, the accuracy of the judgment decreases and response time (RT) increases (Donkin
