“…The resulting ROC analysis plots "hits," that is, correct identifications of old items, against "false alarms," incorrect identifications of new items as if they were old, across a range of confidence levels. This analysis typically reveals an asymmetric function characterized by an above-zero threshold of recognition at the most conservative criterion (zero false alarm rate) and thereafter a curvilinear performance function (Yofollowing considerations are based on recent and more extensive reviews covering each of these issues (Eichenbaum, 2004;Eichenbaum, Fortin, Ergorul, Wright, & Agster, 2005;Manns & Eichenbaum, 2005Eichenbaum, Yonelinas, & Ranganath, 2006), combined here to address the question of whether recollection is a cognitive function that is conserved across mammalian species.…”
