"recollection process" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is typically used to refer to the process of trying to remember or recall something. For example: I was having trouble recalling the details of my childhood, so I engaged in a recollection process to try to remember what happened.
ERPs were characterized by a larger repetition effect, on the P600 amplitude, for concrete than for abstract images, suggesting a graded recollection process dependent on the type of material to be recollected.
Our results suggest that within this recollection process, the semantic "gist" of a memory is accessed before perceptual details.
The results revealed an overall episodic memory deficit in patients with SZ, encompassing both familiarity and recollection, while unaffected parents showed a dysfunction restricted to the recollection process.
This finding has been taken in support of two fundamental proposals: (1) yes/no recognition tests depend more on recollection than do forced-choice tests; and (2) the hippocampus selectively supports the recollection process.
After the visual encoding of the stimuli in occipital regions, three separable memory processes took place: a familiarity process (temporal cortex), a recollection process (temporal cortex and supramarginal gyrus), and a representational process (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex).
IMO, it's much more likely that if the activation of a single neuron can trigger the recollection of a specific complex memory it's because many other neurons, perhaps in a specific combination, sequence and/or configuration, are also activated during the recollection process.
However, for recollection processes only, older adults additionally recruited the right precuneus, possibly to successfully compensate for their difficulties, as suggested by a positive correlation between recollection and precuneus activity.
Depressive compared to control participants showed enhanced P300 amplitudes at parietal electrodes triggered by pain-related words during the lexical decision task, which presumably is a sign of enhanced recollection processes for these word stimuli.
By promoting the use of abstract stimulus information for memory retrieval, we were thus able to show that hemispheric asymmetries in accessing abstract or specific memory representations can modulate ERP correlates of familiarity as well as recollection processes.
The present study, involving patients with SZ as well as their parents, used experimental tasks specifically designed to disentangle the contribution of familiarity and recollection processes to episodic memory.
Taken together, the results suggest that older adults' deficits in true memories reflect a decline in recollection processes mediated by the hippocampus, whereas their increased tendency to have false memories reflects their reliance on semantic gist mediated by the lateral temporal cortex.
