retrieval orientation

Electrophysiological evidence for strategically orienting retrieval toward the specific age of a memory

For over a century, memory researchers have extensively studied the differences between retrieving memories that were encoded in the remote past as opposed to recently. Although this work has largely focused on the changes that these memory traces …

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 …
