Recognition memory: can you teach an old dogma new tricks?
Familiarity and recollection are components of recognition memory. Whether these underlie two separate processes or a single process differing only in memory strength is a matter of continued debate. In this issue of Neuron, Haskins et al. provide further evidence in support of a dual-process perspective, whereas Shrager et al. provide evidence supporting a single-process viewpoint.
