Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Memory Research

Background:

  • Recognition memory involves 'know' and 'remember' judgments.
  • Signal detection theory provides a framework for analyzing recognition accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test predictions of a signal detection model for 'know' and 'remember' recognition judgments.
  • To examine the influence of context similarity on memory sensitivity measures.

Main Methods:

  • Two experiments were conducted to test model predictions.
  • Experiment 1 assessed memory sensitivity and bias under different criteria.
  • Experiment 2 manipulated learning-test context similarity.

Main Results:

  • Memory sensitivity (A') was equivalent across 'know'/'remember' and 'remember' criteria.
  • Recognition bias correlated with 'know' hits but not 'remember' hits.
  • Memory sensitivity remained consistent across contexts, supporting the detection model.

Conclusions:

  • The signal detection model accurately describes 'know' and 'remember' recognition.
  • Memory sensitivity is robust to criterion changes but sensitive to context manipulations.
  • The findings contribute to understanding the memory continuum in detection theory.
