The apparent sparing of recognition memory after fornix damage is also found in animal studies, though here it is more difficult to separate familiarity from recollection-like processes (Fortin et al., 2004; Easton et al., 2009).
Smaller activation foci in this region were observed for the separate familiarity, autobiographical salience, and valence regressors, with the strictest significance criterion being reached for the effect of familiarity (Table 2).
Even the district court recognized that Microsoft's "inclusion of Internet Explorer with Windows at no separate charge increased general familiarity with the Internet and reduced the cost to the public of gaining access to it".
Future studies designed to test this possibility can help to separate contributions of visual familiarity from the broader cognitive system of self-representation (see Devue & Brédart, 2011).
We note, furthermore, that whether recollection and familiarity are separate processes (Eichenbaum et al., 2008), or reflect a single process, with familiarity and recollection reflecting different degrees of memory strength (Wixted and Squire, 2008), is an area of continuing debate (see also Gardiner and Richardson-Klavehn, 2000 and Yonelinas, 2002) for relevant information regarding humans.
Additionally, the data set was split into four subsets within the familiarity pairings, and separate models were calculated within these subsets to investigate differences between the experimental phases.
To identify the specific neural correlates of relevant emotions from the 9-dimensional model, as well as other more general dimensions (arousal, valence, and familiarity), we calculated separate regression models for these different dimensions using a parametric design similar to the methodology proposed by Wood et al. (2008).
In fact, in this first experiment, this is the only convenient means by which we might separate low vs. high level of familiarity with certain pairs across training.
Accordingly, adding the separate ratings of Arousal, Valence, and "Familiarity" in a new factorial analysis left the 2 main components unchanged.
Another possible explanation for this pattern (associative >forgotten > non-associative) can be found by turning to the hypothesis that associative recollection and non-associative familiarity are mediated by separate neural mechanisms and structures (for review, see Brown and Aggleton, 2001).
The sexes, which used to occupy intriguingly separate worlds, are suffering from over-familiarity, a curse of the mundane.
