The Hippocampus Supports Recognition Memory for Familiar Words but Not Unfamiliar Faces
Bilateral damage to the human hippocampus profoundly impairs the ability to form long-term, consciously accessible memories, producing a classic amnesic syndrome. However, the effect of hippocampal damage on our ability to recognize items via a feeling of familiarity is hotly disputed. Dual-process theory predicts no effect, whereas declarative memory theory predicts impairment of all types of ...
متن کاملLateral asymmetries in the recognition of words, familiar faces and unfamiliar faces.
-Words, familiar faces and unfamiliar faces were tachistoscopically presented in lateral view to normal right-handed adult subjects. A RVF advantage was obtained for word recognition and a LVF advantage was obtained for the recognition of both familiar and unfamiliar faces. Moreover, the LVF advantage for familiar faces was obtained when the required response was recognition from an array as we...
متن کاملRecognition of Briefly Presented Familiar and Unfamiliar Faces
Early processing stages in the perception of familiar and unfamiliar faces were studied in four experiments by varying the type of available facial information in a four alternative forced choice recognition task. Both reaction time and recognition accuracy served as dependent measures. The observed data revealed an asymmetry in processing familiar and unfamiliar faces. A markedly weak inversio...
متن کاملFixation Patterns During Recognition of Personally Familiar and Unfamiliar Faces
Previous studies recording eye gaze during face perception have rendered somewhat inconclusive findings with respect to fixation differences between familiar and unfamiliar faces. This can be attributed to a number of factors that differ across studies: the type and extent of familiarity with the faces presented, the definition of areas of interest subject to analyses, as well as a lack of cons...
متن کاملInterhemispheric cooperation for familiar but not unfamiliar face processing.
Evidence for interhemispheric cooperation during language processing has been demonstrated for words, but not for meaningless pseudowords. Specifically, responses were found to be faster and more accurate when identical copies of a word were presented bilaterally to both hemispheres, relative to unilateral single presentations. This bilateral advantage for words seems to be a robust effect in n...
