The question of whether recognition memory judgments with and
without recollection reflect dissociable patterns of brain activity is
unresolved. We used event-related, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of 12 healthy volunteers to measure hemodynamic responses associated with both studying and recognizing words. Volunteers made one of three judgments to each word during recognition: whether they recollected seeing it during study (R judgments), whether
they experienced a feeling of familiarity in the absence of
recollection (K judgments), or whether they did not remember seeing it
during study (N judgments). Both R and K judgments for studied words
were associated with enhanced responses in left prefrontal and left
parietal cortices relative to N judgments for unstudied words. The
opposite pattern was observed in bilateral temporoccipital regions and
amygdalae. R judgments for studied words were associated with enhanced
responses in anterior left prefrontal, left parietal, and posterior
cingulate regions relative to K judgments. At study, a posterior left
prefrontal region exhibited an enhanced response to words subsequently
given R versus K judgments, but the response of this region during
recognition did not differentiate R and K judgments. K judgments for
studied words were associated with enhanced responses in right lateral
and medial prefrontal cortex relative to both R judgments for studied
words and N judgments for unstudied words, a difference we attribute to
greater monitoring demands when memory judgments are less certain.
These results suggest that the responses of different brain regions do
dissociate according to the phenomenology associated with memory retrieval.
