Further evidence on the similarity of memory processes in the process dissociation procedure and in source monitoring

Buchner, Erdfelder, Steffens, and Martensen (1997) proposed that the memory processes involved in recognition judgments in the process dissociation pr ocedure are the same as those involved in standard source monitoring tasks. Two extensions of that research are presented here. First, following a lin e of reasoning recently brought forward by Jacoby (1998), the instructions in the earlier study could have triggered different processes from those tr iggered by his instructions. However, with instructions conforming as close ly as possible to those reported by Jacoby(1991), Experiment 1 replicated t he earlier recognition judgment finding almost perfectly. Second, the memor y processes underlying fame judgments in the process dissociation procedure could also resemble those involved in source monitoring tasks. Indeed, the results of Experiment 2 are compatible with the hypothesis that the same p rocesses are involved in fame judgments given a source monitoring or a proc ess dissociation procedure.
