Associative Recognition Memory in Amnesia

描述(申请人提供)：本项目旨在调查 联想再认记忆在全面性遗忘症中的地位 假设两个独立的识别基础的双进程模型 表演、回忆和熟悉。将进行四项研究，以 研究这个问题。实验1的目标是确定 与单个词相比，对不相关词对的联想识别 认知力在健忘症中受损得不成比例。实验2比较 具有预先存在的表征的刺激的联想记忆 指与刺激有关的联想(即复合词)，其中没有 (即，不相关的单词对)。实验3考察了关联性 在前一种情况下，健忘症中的识别被更好地保存下来。 最后，实验4旨在明确熟悉性过程的性质 对赦免有贡献？关联识别(即，概念性或 知觉)用于复合刺激。

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.
