Contributions of familiarity and recollection rejection to recognition: Evidence from the time course of false recognition for semantic and conjunction lures

摘要: It has been suggested that both familiarity and recollection contribute to the recognition decision process. In this paper we leverage form of false alarm rate functions—in which rates describe an inverted U-shaped function as time between study test increases—to assess how these processes support retention semantic surface information from previously studied words. We directly compare maxima functions for lures are semantically related by material. This analysis reveals a more rapid loss access than information. To separate contributions item reminding-induced rejection effect, use simple multinomial process model; reflects lower
