    Summary

    Low-frequency words improve recognition memory and elicit stronger brain responses, suggesting enhanced familiarity. This supports two-process models of memory, highlighting the role of familiarity in recalling less common words.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Psychology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Recognition memory performance varies based on word frequency.
    • Familiarity plays a crucial role in memory retrieval.
    • Event-related potentials (ERPs) offer insights into cognitive processes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the neural correlates of word frequency effects in recognition memory.
    • To examine the relationship between familiarity, confidence, and ERPs in memory tasks.
    • To test the predictions of two-process models of recognition memory.

    Main Methods:

    • Recording event-related potentials (ERPs) during recognition memory tasks.
    • Presenting subjects with high- and low-frequency words, some previously studied.
    • Analyzing ERP differences between studied (old) and non-studied (new) words, considering confidence judgments.

    Main Results:

    • Low-frequency words showed better recognition and higher confidence ratings.
    • A significant 'old/new' ERP difference (post-500 msec) was observed for low-frequency words, reflecting greater familiarity.
    • This effect was more pronounced over the left hemisphere and persisted with confident judgments.

    Conclusions:

    • Post-500 msec ERP differences in recognition tasks indicate levels of relative familiarity.
    • The superior recognition of low-frequency words is partly due to their enhanced familiarity when previously studied.
    • Findings support two-process models of recognition memory, emphasizing familiarity's contribution.
