According to dual process models of recognition memory, patients with selective damage to the hippocampal system should have a selective deficit in the process of recollection only whereas patients with selective damage to the perirhinal system should only demonstrate impaired familiarity. The present project is investigating these predictions in a unique patient with a selective lesion to the left entorhinal cortex.

The MTL in recognition memory
Dual-process models of recognition posit that recollection and familiarity are subserved by two separate neuroanatomical systems: the hippocampus and the perirhinal cortex. Some researchers however, argue against this neuroanatomical distinction and suggest that recollection and familiarity reflect high- and low-strength memories processed similarly by an integrated system in the medial temporal lobe (MTL). We are […]
