Use of explicit memory cues following parietal lobe lesions

► We explored performance of parietal lobe patients on an explicit memory cueing task. ► Without cues, patients and controls did not differ in recognition accuracy. ► Patients were less accurate at responding after valid “Likely New” cues. ► Comparing to a frontal lesion group suggested pattern was specific to parietal cortex. ► Parietal lobe adaptively biases memory judgments by integrating cues with retrieval.
