Recognition memory is widely viewed as consisting of two components, recollection and familiarity, which have been proposed to be dependent on the hippocampus and the adjacent perirhinal cortex, respectively. Here, we propose an alternative perspective: we suggest that the methods traditionally used to separate recollection from familiarity instead separate strong memories from weak memories. A review of work with humans, monkeys and rodents finds evidence for familiarity signals (as well as…

It is argued that retrieval-related activity in the hippocampus is not modulated by differences in the undifferentiated memory strength elicited by test items, and hippocampal activity is more likely to be sensitive to recollection success or to the amount of contextual information that is recollected in response to a test item.

Assessing the performance of patients with hippocampal lesions on recognition memory tests that differ in the extent to which recollection and familiarity contribute to the recognition decision suggests that the hippocampus supports both recollection andamiliarity.

Four experiments in which retrieval processes for novel units were compared to those involved for arbitrary associations, pre-existing units and single items provide preliminary evidence that arranging two unrelated objects as a scene can enhance familiarity for associations suggesting that not only contiguous entities can be perceived as units.

Evidence from neuropsychological, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological studies of humans, monkeys, and rats indicates that different subregions of the MTL make distinct contributions to recollection and familiarity; the data suggest that the hippocampus is critical for recollection but not familiarity.

Following selective damage to the hippocampus the ROC curve became entirely symmetrical and remained curvilinear, supporting the view that the hippocampus specifically mediates the capacity for recollection.

It is shown that activity in the hippocampus increased only when retrieval was accompanied by conscious recollection of the learning episode, indicating that the hippocampus selectively supports the retrieval of episodic memories.

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), it is shown that hippocampal activation is modulated by the extent to which a retrieval task depends on relational processing.

High-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to show that distinct subregions of the hippocampus are differentially involved in encoding and retrieval, and regions early in the hippocampal circuit were selectively active during episodic memory formation.
