Mnemonic similarity task TASK
Unreviewed

The Mnemonic Similarity Task (MST) is a memory test that assesses the ability to distinguish between previously seen items, novel items, and highly similar “lure” items. Performance on lure discrimination provides a behavioral measure of pattern separation, a hippocampal-dependent process that supports forming distinct representations of similar experiences. The task also captures pattern completion tendencies, reflected in misidentifying similar lures as old.

CONDITIONS

Experimental conditions are the subsets of an experiment that define the relevant experimental manipulation.

CONTRASTS

You must specify conditions before you can define contrasts.


In the Cognitive Atlas, we define a contrast as any function over experimental conditions. The simplest contrast is the indicator value for a specific condition; more complex contrasts include linear or nonlinear functions of the indicator across different experimental conditions.

INDICATORS

No indicators have yet been associated.

An indicator is a specific quantitative or qualitative variable that is recorded for analysis. These may include behavioral variables (such as response time, accuracy, or other measures of performance) or physiological variables (including genetics, psychophysiology, or brain imaging data).
