Electrophysiological correlates of retrieval processing: effects of consistent versus inconsistent retrieval demands

Studies employing event-related potentials (ERPs) during tests of recognition memory have reported differences in neural activity elicited by new test items according to the specific demands of the retrieval task, such as retrieving studied words …

Modulation of the electrophysiological correlates of retrieval cue processing by the specificity of task demands

Retrieval orientation refers to the differential processing of retrieval cues according to the type of information sought from memory (e.g., words vs. pictures). In the present study, event-related potentials (ERPs) were employed to investigate …

Content-specificity of the neural correlates of recollection

It is widely assumed that episodic retrieval (recollection) involves reinstatement of cortical activity engaged during the processing of an episode when it was initially experienced. It follows from this assumption that the cortical correlates of …
