Brain damage and age related studies

Question 1

Aggleton et al (2000)

Answer 1

Amnesiac patients are ore impaired in associative as opposed to item recognition meaning recollection processes are most likely to be selectively impaired

Question 2

Bowles (2010)

Answer 2

Patients with a removed hippocampus had poor recollection but in tact familiarity
Support fo BIC

Question 3

Addente et al (2012)

Answer 3

Amnesiac patients with impaired recollection but in tact familiarity showed the familiarity related early EPR component but not the late positive complex (recollection)

Question 4

Bowles (2011)

Answer 4

Patient NB had part of their perirhinal cortex removed
Recollection was fine but she had impaired learning ability for verbal material
Support for BIC

Question 5

Brandt et al (2016)

Answer 5

Patient MR had damage to their entorhinal cortex which lead to impaired familiarity for words but intact recognition
Suggests that the entorhinal cortex is associated with familiarity but it depends on which part of the cortex is damaged (Hunsaker et al., 2013)

Question 6

Boujut and Clarys (2016)

Answer 6

Supports BIC by showing that the episodicc memory impairment that comes with old age is likely due to problems when binding item and context information

Question 7

Koen and Yonelinal (2014)

Answer 7

Conducted a meta-analysis
Familiarity was impaired in R/K procedures but not other procedures (maybe to do with responding with R when actually it’s just high confidence)
Found that hippocampus activation was associated with recollection and the perirhinal cortex was associated with familiarity
