ABSTRACT
Over the last several years, much of our research has been aimed at uncovering the bases for the subjective experience of memory and devising methods to separately measure those bases. We have been particularly interested in the effects of implicit memory or automatic influences of memory on judgments. How does that work relate to questions about metacognition? After agreeing to write this chapter, we went through a long period thinking the answer was "it doesn't." As the deadline for the chapter drew near, we became more creative (desperate?) in our analysis, and have now arrived at the position that metacognition and implicit memory are so similar as to not be separate topics. Questions concerning awareness are central for both metacognition and for implicit memory.
