Dubious 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 کاملIndividual differences in shifting decision criterion: a recognition memory study.
An ability to flexibly shift a decision criterion can be advantageous. For example, a known change in the base rate of targets and distractors on a recognition memory test will lead optimal decision makers to shift their criterion accordingly. In the present study, 95 individuals participated in two recognition memory tests that included periodic changes in the base rate probability that the te...
متن کاملAge, 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 کاملConflict and criterion setting in recognition memory.
Recognition memory requires both retrieval processes and control processes such as criterion setting. Decision criteria were manipulated by offering different payoffs for correct "old" versus "new" responses. Criterion setting influenced the following late-occurring (1,000+ ms), conflict-sensitive event-related brain potential (ERP) components: the stimulus-locked late posterior negativity (LPN...
متن کاملMemory strength and the decision process in recognition memory.
We investigated the role that memory strength plays in the decision process by examining the extent to which strength is used as a cue to dynamically modify recognition criteria. The study list consisted of strong and weak items, with strength a function of study duration or repetition. The recognition test list was divided into two consecutive blocks; strong items appeared in one block, weak i...
