Age, criterion flexibility, and associative recognition.
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to compare the extent to which young and older adults exhibit flexibility in adjusting decision criteria in response to changes in recognition task difficulty. METHODS Forty-eight young and 48 older adults studied a list of word pairs and then took 2 successive tests of associative recognition, an easy test consisting of intact study pairs and new lure pai...
متن کاملDubious decision evidence and criterion flexibility in recognition memory
When old-new recognition judgments must be based on ambiguous memory evidence, a proper criterion for responding "old" can substantially improve accuracy, but participants are typically suboptimal in their placement of decision criteria. Various accounts of suboptimal criterion placement have been proposed. The most parsimonious, however, is that subjects simply over-rely on memory evidence - h...
متن کاملAssociative false recognition occurs without strategic criterion shifts.
In the DRM (Deese/Roediger and McDermott) false memory paradigm, subjects studied lists of words associated with nonpresented critical words. They were tested in one of four instructional conditions. In a standard condition, subjects were not warned about the DRM Effect. In three other conditions, they were told to avoid false recognition of critical words. One group was warned before study of ...
متن کاملRepetition effects in associative false recognition: Theme-based criterion shifts are the exception, not the rule.
Previous reports have demonstrated that false memory for the critical items of associative lists decreases when lists are studied multiple times (Benjamin, 2001). In three experiments, we explored two hypotheses that might account for false memory reductions with repetition. Under an identification hypothesis, repetition decreases false memory because participants realise that critical items ar...
متن کاملRUNNING HEAD: FLEXIBILITY AND FALLIBILITY OF MEMORY On the Flexibility and the Fallibility of Associative Memory
The authors report the results of four experiments that explored the flexibility and fallibility of associative recognition memory. In each experiment, pairs were studied one or more times, and the task was to discriminate intact from rearranged pairs. The critical findings are that the pattern of false-alarm rates were dependent on the nature of the recognition procedure (e.g., ratings versus ...
