This article reviews literature on the characteristics and possible interpretations of the event-
related potential (ERP) peaks commonly identified in research. The description of each peak …

The focus of the present paper is a late posterior negative slow wave (LPN) that has
frequently been reported in event-related potential (ERP) studies of memory. An overview of …

Reminders of the past can trigger the recollection of events that one would rather forget.
Here, using fMRI, we demonstrate two distinct neural mechanisms that foster the intentional …

Working memory updating (WMU) has been identified as a cognitive function of prime
importance for everyday tasks and has also been found to be a significant predictor of higher …

Dual process theories posit that separate recollection and familiarity processes contribute to
recognition memory. Previous research, testing recognition memory for words, indicates that …

Dual-process theories suggest that recognition memory is determined by two separate
processes: familiarity and recollection. Experiment 1 behaviorally replicated past studies …

The “F” in FN400 denotes a more frontal scalp distribution relative to the morphologically
similar N400 component—a distinction consistent with the hypothesized distinct roles of …

A common distinction in contemporary research on episodic memory is between familiarity,
an unsubstantiated impression that an event was experienced previously, and recollection …

Separate event-related brain potential (ERP) components have been hypothesized to index
familiarity and recollection processes that support recognition memory. A 300-to 500-ms mid …

This study examined emotional influences on the hypothesized event-related potential
(ERP) correlates of familiarity and recollection (Experiment 1) and the states of awareness …
