摘要: Judgments of frequency for targets (old items) and foils (similar; dissimilar) steadily increase as thenumber times a target is studied increases, but discrimination from similar does notsteadily improve, phenomenon termed registration without learning (D. L. Hintzman & T. Curran,1995; D. Hintzman, Curran, B. Oppy, 1992). The present experiment explores this phenomenonwith words differing normative word frequency. retrieving-effectively-from-memory model(REM; R. M. Shiffrin Steyvers, 1997, 1998) predicts that low-frequency will be betterrecognized than high-frequency because have more distinctive memoryrepresentations. A corollary assumption the typical recognition word-frequency effectwill disrupted when are tested. These predictions were confirmed, to fit both therecognition judgment-of-frequency data, authors used “dual-process” extension REMmodel.
