Forgetting In Item Recognition And Pattern Separation, Mateo Marquez, Rhiannon Soriano Smith
Undergraduate Research Symposium Posters
Forgetting is commonly defined as the inability to access information that was once successfully encoded and could be retrieved with a cue, but now leads to memory failure (Frankland et al. 2013).
Memory representations based in the hippocampus engage in pattern separation and are more prone to decay than interference (Sadeh & Pertrzov, 2020).
Extra-hippocampal representations are more prone to interference than decay (Hardt et al. 2013).
Pattern Separation refers to keeping memory representations distinct from one another.
Is there more decay in pattern separation and more interference in item recognition?

Previous research on recognition memory assumes that associative recognition relies on recollection, whereas item recognition relies on a combination of recollection and familiarity. Unitization refers to the encoding strategy where two separate items are perceived as a single coherent entity or object. Research has demonstrated that unitization can facilitate familiarity-based recognition by generating representations of the stimulus and integrating it into a unified whole. To investigate this issue, we examined the effect of unitization on memory for word-pairs through two types of tests:
Associative Recognition: judge whether word pairs occurred together
Item Recognition: judge whether single words are old or …
