Item recognition memory and the receiver operating characteristic

摘要: Four experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of study time, repetition, semantic and orthographic similarity, category length on item recognition memory receiver operating characteristics (ROCs). Analyses ROC shape rejected A. P. Yonelinas's (1994) dual-process model. The normal unequal variance signal-detection model provided a better account data, except for small but consistent excess high-confidence errors. It was found that z-transformed slope increased by length, rejecting R. Ratcliff, G. McKoon, M. Tindall's "constancy-of-slopes" generalization these variables, relatively unaffected massed time.
