Preferred term

mnemonic discrimination of object-in-context task  

Definition(s)

  • Method for the study of mnemonic discrimination. Subjects learn images in which an everyday object is placed against a background (the context). During the recognition phase, three types of images are presented: images identical to those studied, completely new images, and images similar but not identical to those studied. For each image, the subject is asked to indicate whether the object and the context are old, new or similar.
