The Nature of Recollection and Familiarity: A Review of 30 Years of Research

TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that recall is more sensitive than familiarity to response speeding, division of attention, generation, semantic encoding, the effects of aging, and the amnestic effects of benzodiazepines, while familiarity is less sensitive to shifts in response criterion, fluency manipulations, forgetting over short retention intervals, and some perceptual manipulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pragmatics of measuring recognition memory: applications to dementia and amnesia.

TL;DR: Four theoretical models of yes-no recognition memory are described and their associated measures of discrimination and response bias are presented and the indices from the acceptable models are used to characterize recognition memory deficits in dementia and amnesia.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory

TL;DR: The authors investigated the possibility that assessment of confidence is biased by attempts to justify one's chosen answer and disregarding evidence contradicting it, and found that only the listing of contradicting reasons improved the appropriateness of confidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calculation of signal detection theory measures

TL;DR: Three of the most popular tasks used to study discriminability are discussed, together with the measures that SDT prescribes for quantifying performance in these tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Judgments of frequency and recognition memory in a multiple-trace memory model.

TL;DR: The multiple-trace simulation model, MINERVA 2, was applied to a number of phenomena found in experiments on relative and absolute judgments of frequency, and forced-choice and yes-no recognition memory.

Signal detection theory and psychophysics

TL;DR: This book discusses statistical decision theory and sensory processes in signal detection theory and psychophysics and describes how these processes affect decision-making.

Interaction of information in word recognition.

John Morton
- 01 Mar 1969 - 
TL;DR: The model has as its central feature a set of "logogens": devices which accept information relevant to a particular word response irrespective of the source of this information when more than a threshold amount of information has accumulated in any logogen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decision processes in perception.

TL;DR: A brief review of the theory of statistical decision is reviewed and a description of the elements of the theories appropriate to human observers is presented, including a quantitative measure of the criterion.
