Abstract: | Background Previous research has demonstrated a relationship between memory recall and P300 amplitude in list learning tasks, but the
variables mediating this P300-recall relationship are not well understood. In the present study, subjects were required to
recall items from lists consisting of 12 words, which were presented in front of pictures taken from the IAPS collection.
One word per list is made distinct either by font color or by a highly arousing background IAPS picture. This isolation procedure
was first used by von Restorff. Brain potentials were recorded during list presentation. |
