What does MTL stand for?
|
Medial Temporal Lobe
|
|
|
What is the purpose of the MTL?
|
To become aware of things that happened in the past (memory)
|
|
|
What technique did this experiment use?
|
fMRI
|
|
|
What does the posterior MTL track?
|
True oldness, regardless of percieved oldness
|
|
|
What is true oldness?
|
Whether an object is actually old
|
|
|
What is percieved oldness?
|
Whether the person thinks that the object is old
|
|
|
What does the anterior MTL track?
|
Wehter an item was consciously experienced as new
|
|
|
What is a miss?
|
Incorrect classification as new
|
|
|
What is perceived novelty?
|
Whether an item was conciously experienced as new
|
|
|
What determines memory performance?
|
Joint activity of anterior and posterior MTL
|
|
|
What do the results show?
|
That parts of MTL can distinguish old from new independently of conciousness
|
|
|
What is a hit?
|
Correct classification as old
|
|
|
What is a correct rejection?
|
Correct classification as new
|
|
|
What is a false alarm?
|
Incorrect classification as old
|
|
|
Why have most trials only analyzed correct rejections and hits?
|
Limitations in the number of trials required for analyzing fMRI data
|
|
|
Why do participants make errors when their own brains hold the correct answer?
|
Percieved novelty activity in the anterior MTL overrides true oldness activity in the posterior MTL
|
|
|
Do the anterior and posterior MTL regions make independent contributions to recognition memory?
|
yes
|
