Prior knowledge often improves recognition accuracy, but does it facilitate the formation of more detailed and durable memories? We sought to further characterize the effects of prior knowledge on learning by examining 1) whether the degree of prior knowledge associated with a stimulus affects the likelihood of episodic recollection, and 2) whether prior knowledge facilitates the formation of durable memories that persist beyond immediate test. In three experiments, participants studied images that were either associated with prior knowledge, or not, for either 1 or 4s, followed by a Remember-Know procedure. Though both prior knowledge and longer encoding duration were associated with better memory, prior knowledge was associated more reliable benefit on measures of recollection (e.g., Remember accuracy and objective source memory). Self-reported degree of prior knowledge associated with a given image was also predictive of its likelihood of being recollected. Furthermore, prior knowledge improved recognition memory for a surprise delayed recognition test, while the effects of encoding duration did not persist. These findings were extended in a fourth experiment, which demonstrated that prior knowledge supported accurate discrimination between studied targets and highly perceptually similar lures. Overall, our results provide evidence for a robust and persistent effect of prior knowledge on recollecting idiosyncratic details from a study episode.

Confidence Ratings

Abstract. Researchers often augment recognition memory decisions with confidence ratings or reports of “Remember” and “Know” experiences. While important, these ratings are subject to variation in interpretation and misspecification. Here we review recent findings from a “verbal reports as data” procedure in which subjects justify, in their own words, the basis of recognition. The application of a language pattern classifier to these justifications demonstrates that it: (a) is sensitive to the presence of recollection, (b) tracks individual differences in recognition accuracy, and (c) generalizes in a theoretically meaningful way to justifications from a separate experiment. More broadly, this approach should be useful for any cognitive decision task in which competing theories suggest different explicit bases underlying the judgments, or for which the explicit versus implicit basis of the decisions is in question.

Memory Experiment

fMRI studies of recognition memory have often been interpreted to mean that the hippocampus selectively subserves recollection and that adjacent regions selectively subserve familiarity. Yet, many of these studies have confounded recollection and familiarity with strong and weak memories. In a source memory experiment, we compared correct source judgments (which reflect recollection) and incorrect source judgments (often thought to reflect familiarity) while equating for old–new memory strength by including only high-confidence hits in the analysis. Hippocampal activity associated with both correct source judgments and incorrect source judgments exceeded the activity associated with forgotten items and did so to a similar extent. Further, hippocampal activity was greater for high-confidence old decisions relative to forgotten items even when source decisions were at chance. These results identify a recollection signal in the hippocampus and may identify a familiarity signal as well. Similar results were obtained in the parahippocampal gyrus. Unlike in the medial temporal lobe, activation in prefrontal cortex increased differentially in association with source recollection.

Over Time

We present a dynamic model of memory that integrates the processes of perception, retrieval from knowledge, retrieval of events, and decision making as these evolve from one moment to the next. The core of the model is that recognition depends on tracking changes in familiarity over time from an initial baseline generally determined by context, with these changes depending on the availability of different kinds of information at different times. A mathematical implementation of this model leads to precise, accurate predictions of accuracy, response time, and speed-accuracy trade-off in episodic recognition at the levels of both groups and individuals across a variety of paradigms. Our approach leads to novel insights regarding word frequency, speeded responding, context reinstatement, short-term priming, similarity, source memory, and associative recognition, revealing how the same set of core dynamic principles can help unify otherwise disparate phenomena in the study of memory.
