The pupillary response discriminates between subjective and objective familiarity and novelty
The pupil response discriminates between old and new stimuli, with old stimuli characterized by larger pupil dilation patterns than new stimuli. We sought to explore the cause of the pupil old/new effect and discount the effect of targetness, effort, recollection retrieval, and complexity of the recognition decision. Two experiments are reported in which the pupil response and the eye fixation ...
متن کاملKeeping an eye on the truth? Pupil size changes associated with recognition memory.
During recognition memory tests participants' pupils dilate more when they view old items compared to novel items. We sought to replicate this "pupil old/new effect" and to determine its relationship to participants' responses. We compared changes in pupil size during recognition when participants were given standard recognition memory instructions, instructions to feign amnesia, and instructio...
متن کاملThe coupling of emotion and cognition in the eye: introducing the pupil old/new effect.
The study presented here investigated the effects of emotional valence on the memory for words by assessing both memory performance and pupillary responses during a recognition memory task. Participants had to make speeded judgments on whether a word presented in the test phase of the experiment had already been presented ("old") or not ("new"). An emotion-induced recognition bias was observed:...
متن کاملCommentary: Pupil old/new effects reflect stimulus encoding and decoding in short-term memory
The pupil response has emerged as a measure of long-term memory encoding (Kafkas and Montaldi, 2011, 2015a; Papesh et al., 2012) and retrieval (Võ et al., 2008; Kafkas and Montaldi, 2012, 2015b) in recognition memory tasks. At retrieval, the pupil dilates more for old than new stimuli; the pupil old/new effect (Võ et al., 2008). Moreover, pupil response patterns have been found to discriminate ...
متن کاملAre Age Effects in Positivity Influenced by the Valence of Distractors?
An age-related 'positivity' effect has been identified, in which older adults show an information-processing bias towards positive emotional items in attention and memory. In the present study, we examined this positivity bias by using a novel paradigm in which emotional and neutral distractors were presented along with emotionally valenced targets. Thirty-five older and 37 younger adults were ...
