Associative Recognition Memory in Amnesia

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目旨在调查 关联性认知记忆在整体性遗忘症中的地位 一种双过程模型，假设两个独立的识别基础 表现、回忆和熟悉。将进行四项研究， 研究这个问题。实验1的目的是确定 与单个词相比，对不相关词对的联想识别 记忆力在健忘症中受损不成比例。实验2比较 对已有表征的刺激的联想记忆 协会的（即，复合词）的刺激，其中没有 (i.e.,不相关的词对）。实验3考察了联想是否 在前一种情况下，健忘症患者的认知能力得到了更好的保持。 最后，实验4旨在明确熟悉过程的性质 对大赦有贡献吗关联识别（即，概念或 感知）的复合刺激。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project aims to investigate the status of associative recognition memory in global amnesia in the context of a dual-process model that postulates two separate bases for recognition performance, recollection and familiarity. Four studies will be conducted to examine this issue. The goal of Experiment 1 is to determine whether associative recognition for unrelated word pairs, as compared to single word recognition, is disproportionately impaired in amnesia. Experiment 2 compares associative memory for stimuli in which there is a pre-existing representation of an association (i.e., compound words) to stimuli in which there is not (i.e., unrelated words pairs). Experiment 3 examines whether associative recognition in amnesia is better preserved under the former conditions. Finally, Experiment 4 aims to specify the nature of the familiarity process contributing to amnesics? associative recognition (i.e., conceptual or perceptual) for compound stimuli.
