Ap. Yonelinas et Ll. Jacoby, DISSOCIATIONS OF PROCESSES IN RECOGNITION MEMORY - EFFECTS OF INTERFERENCE AND OF RESPONSE SPEED, Canadian journal of experimental psychology, 48(4), 1994, pp. 516-535
Effects on two bases for recognition-memory judgements were examined u
sing a process dissociation procedure (Jacoby, 1991). In three experim
ents it was found that increasing the length of a study list interfere
d with conscious recollection but left familiarity in place. Furthermo
re, an examination of reaction time distributions as well as results f
rom a response-signal procedure showed that familiarity was faster as
a basis for recognition judgements than was conscious recollection. Ho
wever, both bases contributed to performance on the fastest as well as
the slowest responses, suggesting that the two processes were acting
in parallel.
