Decision criteria in recognition memory influence cognitive control. Manipulating payoffs for old/new responses affected brain potentials, revealing how criterion setting impacts memory assessment and response adjustments.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Recognition memory involves retrieval and cognitive control processes, including setting decision criteria.
  • Previous research highlights the role of cognitive control in memory performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how decision criteria, manipulated by payoff structures, influence event-related brain potential (ERP) components.
  • To explore the relationship between criterion setting, conflict monitoring, and response control in recognition memory.

Main Methods:

  • Participants performed a recognition memory task with varied payoffs for correct old/new responses.
  • Stimulus-locked (late posterior negativity - LPN) and response-locked (error-related negativity - ERN) ERP components were analyzed.

  • Behavioral data, including response reversals, were correlated with ERP findings.

    • Main Results:

    • Criterion setting significantly modulated late-occurring, conflict-sensitive ERP components (LPN and ERN).
    • The most negative LPN-ERN amplitudes were observed under conservative payoff conditions, indicating conflict between correct responses and payoff incentives.
    • Conservative-hit conditions were associated with increased response reversals, particularly when initial fast judgments were followed by slower ones.

    Conclusions:

    • Postresponse ERP activity, specifically LPN and ERN, reflects conflict-sensitive cognitive control processes during recognition memory.
    • These findings suggest that ERPs can index mechanisms involved in assessing current responses and updating decision criteria for future trials.
