“…Johnson, Kounios, and Nolde (1997) suggested that differences between ERPs evoked by classes of unstudied words reflect how memory traces are probed for different kinds of information. Such a differential probing might be achieved by processes that enhance the interaction between internal representation of the retrieval cues and memory traces (cue bias) or by processes that directly act on memory representations and modulate their accessibility (target bias) (Anderson & Bjork, 1994;Dzulkifli & Wilding, 2005;Mecklinger, 2010;Rosburg et al, 2013;Rosburg et al, 2011a). Moreover, it has also been proposed that such operations increase overlap between cue and target processing (Robb & Rugg, 2002).…”

The effectiveness of retrieval practice for aiding long-term memory, referred to as the testing effect, has been widely demonstrated. However, the specific neurocognitive mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain unclear. In the present study, we sought to explore the role of pre-retrieval processes at initial testing on later recognition performance by using event-related potentials (ERPs). Subjects studied two lists of words (Chinese characters) and then performed a recognition task or a source memory task, or restudied the word lists. At the end of the experiment, subjects received a final recognition test based on the remember-know paradigm. Behaviorally, initial testing (active retrieval) enhanced memory retention relative to restudying (passive retrieval). The retrieval mode at initial testing was indexed by more positive-going ERPs for unstudied items in the activeretrieval tasks than in passive retrieval from 300 to 900 ms. Follow-up analyses showed that the magnitude of the early ERP retrieval mode effect (300-500 ms) was predictive of the behavioral testing effect later on. In addition, the ERPs for correctly rejected new items during initial testing differed between the two active-retrieval tasks from 500 to 900 ms, and this ERP retrieval orientation effect predicted differential behavioral testing gains between the two active-retrieval conditions. Our findings confirm that initial testing promotes later retrieval relative to restudying, and they further suggest that adopting pre-retrieval processing in the forms of retrieval mode and retrieval orientation might contribute to these memory enhancements.

“…The authors found more positive ERP deflections at frontal electrode sites between 1000 and 1200 ms for new items in the reality monitoring condition, as compared to the external source monitoring condition. The study is informative about a possible frontal contribution to retrieval orientation in reality monitoring (as also investigated by Rosburg, Mecklinger, and Johansson (2011a); Rosburg, Johansson, and Mecklinger (2013)). However, the study had only a limited sensitivity to inform about the possible contribution of the auditory cortex in attempts to retrieve material that the rememberer previously vocalized because all study conditions included auditory words.…”

“…(2) We aimed to assess whether adopting retrieval orientation is beneficial for retrieval accuracy, as suggested by some previous studies (Bridger, Herron, Elward, & Wilding, 2009;Sprondel, Kipp, & Mecklinger, 2013). We have previously argued that such a positive relationship between retrieval accuracy and retrieval orientation is most likely to be observed when the two kinds of target information are dissimilar and, in consequence, selective activation and inhibition of target representations are possible (Rosburg et al, 2011a). In the current study, we expected that retrieval orientation effects would be primarily present in participants with high retrieval accuracy since the episodic information encoded in both study tasks (visual and auditory) is considerably dissimilar.…”

“…For example, in one recent report, Rosburg, Mecklinger, and Johansson (2011) presented words at study that were followed either by a picture depicting the object of the word (perceived condition) or by a white rectangle, which meant that participants had to create a mental image of the object word themselves (imagined condition). In subsequent test blocks, these old items were represented intermixed with new items.…”

Reward anticipation during learning is known to support memory formation, but its role in retrieval processes is so far unclear. Retrieval orientations, as a reflection of controlled retrieval processing, are one aspect of retrieval that might be modulated by reward. These processes can be measured using the event-related potentials (ERPs) elicited by retrieval cues from tasks with different retrieval requirements, such as via changes in the class of targeted memory information. To determine whether retrieval orientations of this kind are modulated by reward during learning, we investigated the effects of high and low reward expectancy on the ERP correlates of retrieval orientation in two separate experiments. The reward manipulation at study in Experiment 1 was associated with later memory performance, whereas in Experiment 2, reward was directly linked to accuracy in the study task. In both studies, the participants encoded mixed lists of pictures and words preceded by highor low-reward cues. After 24 h, they performed a recognition memory exclusion task, with words as the test items. In addition to a previously reported material-specific effect of retrieval orientation, a frontally distributed, reward-associated retrieval orientation effect was found in both experiments. These findings suggest that reward motivation during learning leads to the adoption of a reward-associated retrieval orientation to support the retrieval of highly motivational information. Thus, ERP retrieval orientation effects not only reflect retrieval processes related to the sought-for materials, but also relate to the reward conditions with which items were combined during encoding.
