ABSTRACT

Item recognition followed by source identication is now a standard paradigm in memory research. During a study phase, a set of material, usually words, is presented and studied. is material comes from two or more sources; for example, the words might be read by a male and a female voice. e test phase has two parts. One is a standard recognition test-a mixture of old and new words is presented, and the subject must determine which ones were studied. e other is source identicationthe subject states whether the word was originally presented by the male or the female voice. It is common to couple the recognition and identi-cation responses with an r -level condence rating. Table 20.1 shows six-level ratings for the two responses from a study by Glanzer, Hilford, and Kim (2004), their Experiment 5 (hereaer GHK5).
