Changes in face appearance during spaced repetition enhance conscious remembering, not just familiarity. Encoding distinctiveness is key for the experience of remembering.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Human Memory

Background:

  • Understanding the factors influencing conscious awareness in memory retrieval is crucial.
  • Distinguishing between 'remembering' (recollection) and 'knowing' (familiarity) provides insight into memory processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how repetition (massed vs. spaced) and perceptual change (identical vs. mirror image) affect states of awareness in face recognition.
  • To determine if encoding distinctiveness influences the phenomenological experience of conscious remembering.

Main Methods:

  • Two experiments were conducted using repeated face presentations.
  • Participants experienced massed (immediate) or spaced (intervening items) repetition.
  • Perceptual change was manipulated by using identical or mirror-image face stimuli for repetitions.

  • Recognition judgments distinguished between 'remembering' and 'knowing' responses.

    • Main Results:

    • Changes in face appearance between presentations significantly enhanced 'remember' responses.
    • Perceptual change did not affect 'knowing' responses.
    • The enhancing effect of perceptual change on 'remembering' was more pronounced with spaced repetition compared to massed repetition.

    Conclusions:

    • Distinctiveness during encoding plays a critical role in supporting the subjective experience of conscious remembering.
    • Spaced repetition combined with perceptual change optimizes conditions for detailed recollection in face recognition.
