mnemonic similarity task  

Définition

  • A recognition task used as a method for studying hippocampal pattern separation processes. Subjects encode a series of visual stimuli in an incidental manner. The items presented during the recognition test are of three types: 1) items identical to those presented during the encoding phase (old items); 2) completely new items; 3) visually similar items to encoded items. During the surprise recognition test, subjects are asked to indicate whether each item presented is old, new or similar. The ability to discriminate lures from old items is an indicator of pattern separation.
