We review the discovery, characterization, and evolving use of the N400, an event-related
brain potential response linked to meaning processing. We describe the elicitation of N400s …

Most lesion studies in animals, and neuropsychological and functional neuroimaging
studies in humans, have focused on finding dissociations between the functions of different …

This highly influential work--now in a revised and expanded third edition incorporating major
advances in the field--gives clinicians, educators, and students a new understanding of what …

Many theories of declarative memory propose that it is supported by partially separable
processes underpinned by different brain structures. The hippocampus plays a critical role in …

Familiarity is a pervasive memory phenomenon that occurs in its most basic form when
someone recognizes a repeated stimulus without recollecting other aspects of the requisite …

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 …

Explicit memory refers to the conscious retrieval of past information or experiences, whereas

The remember/know (RK) procedure is the most widely used method to investigate
recollection and familiarity. It uses trial-by-trial reports to determine how much recollection …

Sonbul and Schmitt (2013) showed that exposure to second language (L2) collocations in
reading texts can produce gains in explicit knowledge, but they found no evidence of gains …

Recollection is typically associated with high recognition confidence and accurate source
memory. However, subjects sometimes make accurate source memory judgments even for …
