Dual-process models of recognition memory propose that recognition
memory can be supported by either a general sense of familiarity or
the recollection of the encoding context. One source of evidence
supporting dual-process models comes from event- related potential
(ERP) studies of recognition memory, which have identified distinct
patterns of neural activity associated with familiarity and
recollection (the mid frontal and left parietal old/new effects,
respectively). In this thesis, dual- process accounts of
recognition memory were investigated in a series of ERP studies
using three categories of stimulus: previously unknown faces,
famous faces, and names. For previously unknown faces, familiarity
was associated with activity over posterior scalp electrodes while
recollection was associated with topographically dissociable
activity over anterior electrodes. These dissociable patterns of
activity support dual-process models.
