Effects of pre-experimental knowledge on recognition memory
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-07, 19:02 authored by Chris BirdChris Bird, Rachel A Davies, Jamie WardJamie Ward, Neil BurgessThe influence of pre-experimental autobiographical knowledge on recognition memory was investigated using as memoranda faces that were either personally known or unknown to the participant. Under a dual process theory, such knowledge boosted both recollection- and familiarity-based recognition judgements. Under an unequal variance signal detection model, pre-experimental knowledge increased both the variance and the separation of the target and foil memory strength distributions, boosting hits and correct rejections. Thus, pre-experimental knowledge has profound effects on the multiple, interacting processes that subserve recognition memory, and likely in the neural systems that underpin them.
