Abstract:
In the present study, two experiments were conducted to examine whether thematic relation can produce recognition without cued-recall effect and whether the direction of the association has an influence on this effect. The participants provided higher familiarity ratings for studied items than for unstudied items during target retrieval failure. Additionally, the thematic relation-elicited recognition without cued-recall effect was larger in the forward association than in the backward association. Collectively, these results indicated that thematic relations can elicit the recognition without cued-recall effect, and this effect is asymmetrical. The current findings support the features overlap hypothesis described in the global match model.
