Recognition memory

In neuroscience, recognition memory is a type of explicit memory involved during the process of recognizing previously encountered events, objects, or people. When the previously experienced event is reexperienced, this environmental content is matched to stored memory representations, eliciting matching signals. The concept was first established via…
