A COMPARISON OF RECOLLECTIVE MEMORY AND SOURCE MONITORING

Participants in recognition memory experiments are often asked for add itional information about their memories after each positive recogniti on response. Two experiments were conducted that were identical, excep t that the first asked participants to make remember/familiar judgment s about the items they recognized, and the second asked them to make s ource judgments. The similarity between the recollection and source ju dgment data has implications for measurement issues and theory develop ment.
