Self-generated memory measures, unlike recall measures, effectively capture memory content at judgment, revealing a relationship between memory and judgment. This suggests memory-based judgment formation is more common than previously thought.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Existing research on memory and judgment independence relies on recall measures.
  • This evidence supports the theory of on-line judgment formation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effectiveness of self-generated memory measures versus recall measures.
  • To determine the relationship between memory and judgment formation.

Main Methods:

  • Two experiments were conducted comparing self-generated and recall memory measures.
  • Participants' memory content at the time of judgment was assessed.

Main Results:

  • Self-generated measures more accurately captured memory content relevant to judgment.

  • A direct comparison showed self-generated measures indicated a memory-judgment relationship, while recall measures did not.

    • Conclusions:

    • Self-generated memory measures provide stronger evidence for a link between memory and judgment.
    • Memory-based judgment formation may be more prevalent than suggested by on-line processing literature.
