Abstract
Retrieval from the Brain's Perspective
Highlights
Used categories or axes to characterize retrieval processes like explicit vs. implicit memory or recollection vs. familiarity are intuitively plausible (Tulving, 1985)
Which criteria should neurocognitive categories characterizing memory retrieval fulfill? First, it should be possible to unequivocally operationalize these categories in experimental paradigms. Such categories should allow one to classify memory operations according to the involved brain structures and neural processes
This line of reasoning was strongly motivated by neuroimaging studies suggesting that the criterion for the recruitment of a specific brain structure is related to its computational role rather than to the phenomenal experiences during the memory task
Summary
Used categories or axes to characterize retrieval processes like explicit (declarative) vs. implicit (non-declarative) memory or recollection vs. familiarity are intuitively plausible (Tulving, 1985). It is still an open question whether they are optimal in a cognitive neuroscience framework – in other words, whether these categories reflect distinct operations within the brain, or whether they are rather epiphenomenal.
