- Abstract
Data from experiments on the phenomenon of recognition failure of recallable words show moderate dependence between recognition and recall. TECO, a connectionist theory, is proposed to account for the phenomenon. Cued recall is assumed to be cued with the cue word and the event. Recognition is assumed to be cued with the event and the copy cue. Moderate dependence is predicted because recall and recognition are cued with the event. The large degree of independence is predicted because recognition lacks the word cue and recall lacks the copy cue. TECO predicts exceptions from the regularity of independence when recognition is cued and recall is uncued. Dependency increases when both tests are cued with the cue word and when recall is...

Data from experiments on the phenomenon of recognition failure of recallable words show moderate dependence between recognition and recall. TECO, a connectionist theory, is proposed to account for the phenomenon. Cued recall is assumed to be cued with the cue word and the event. Recognition is assumed to be cued with the event and the copy cue. Moderate dependence is predicted because recall and recognition are cued with the event. The large degree of independence is predicted because recognition lacks the word cue and recall lacks the copy cue. TECO predicts exceptions from the regularity of independence when recognition is cued and recall is uncued. Dependency increases when both tests are cued with the cue word and when recall is uncued. Functions for the various levels of cue information are derived. A comparison with experimental data shows a better fit for the TECO theory than for the Tulving-Wiseman function, especially for the cued recognition and free recall exceptions.
