Recognition memory based on familiarity judgments is a form of declarative memory that has been repeatedly associated with the anterior medial temporal lobe. It has been argued that this region sustains familiarity-based recognition not only by retrieving item-specific information but also by coding for those semantic aspects of an event that support later familiarity-based recognition. Therefore, delineating these processes in more detail is an ongoing research question, with important implications for current models of recognition memory and was the topic of the conducted behavioural, EEG and fMRI experiments that will be reported in this issue.
