After a 24-hour break, students were given a recognition memory test and the results revealed that students had better recall ...

This task may be considered to be a 'non-matching-to-sample' learning task because evidence for object recognition involves greater interaction with the novel object compared with the sample object.

The potential roles of the hippocampus and perirhinal cortex in recognition memory (judgement of prior occurrence) are reviewed in relation to whether the evidence for a dual-process model of ...

In this study, the researchers recruited healthy young adults, in whom they measured blood hormone levels together with performance on a recognition memory task and aerobic fitness.

Everyone wants to learn more quickly, and retain more of what they learn. Intelligence is a business—and a life—superpower. Ask successful people which factor contributes the most to success, and most ...

The brain fluctuates between two different types of recognition memory: recollection and familiarity. Recollection-based recognition occurs when we can pinpoint an instance when a current ...

To illustrate the power of chunking, Bor gives an astounding example of how one man was able to use this mental mechanism in greatly expanding the capacity of his working memory. The man, an ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, memory, and social recognition.

Chunking isn't just a memory technique, though. Bor argues that this pattern-recognition is the source of human creativity.

Recognition memory Recognition memory can be defined as the ability to distinguish between stimuli that were encountered previously (targets) from stimuli that were not (distractors).
