Two studies based on a signal detection model of recognition memory are presented. Both studies investigated detection and response bias in the recognition of personality-trait words with respect to their relation to the self. Study 1 employed a yes-no ...
Two types of formal memory models can be distinguished: measurement models and computational models. Measurement models aim at measuring memory processes. In contrast, computational models focus on explaining the structures and processes underlying memory ...
Despite its hypothesized role in the etiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), little research has investigated neural correlates of episodic memory impairment in trauma survivors. This pilot study utilized a correlational design to investigate ...
Abstract. Traditionally, most event related potential (ERP) studies of memory retrieval have been reported during item-recognition tasks. Those studies lead to two well-known ERP memory components termed FN400 (familiarity) and LPC (recollection). ...
Abstract. Four experiments were conducted investigating the effect of size congruency on facial recognition memory, measured by remember, know and guess responses. Different study times were employed, that is extremely short (300 and 700 ms), short (1,000 ...
Abstract. According to the perceptual symbols theory (Barsalou, 1999), sensorimotor simulations underlie the representation of concepts. We investigated whether recognition memory for pictures of concepts was facilitated by earlier representation of ...
Three experiments were conducted to examine better performance in long-term memory when stimulus items are pictures or spoken words compared to printed words. Hypotheses regarding the allocation of attention to printed words, the semantic link between ...
The two high threshold model (2HTM) of recognition memory makes strong predictions regarding differences between receiver operating characteristics (ROC) functions across strength manipulations. Province and Rouder (2012) tested these predictions and ...
Abstract. We examined children’s ability to employ a metacognitive heuristic based on memorability expectations to reduce false recognitions, and explored whether these expectations depend on the context in which the items are presented. ...
Abstract. Reaction time (RT) of erroneous responses in go/no-go tasks tends to be shorter than RT of correct responses. An opposite difference has been reported (Halperin, Wolf, Greenblatt, & Young, 1991) which could be attributed to ...
Abstract. Researchers often augment recognition memory decisions with confidence ratings or reports of “Remember” and “Know” experiences. While important, these ratings are subject to variation in interpretation and misspecification. ...
