Successive Tests of Pair Recognition

Sikström, Sverker P. LU orcid (1998) In Memory 6(5). p.531-554
Abstract

A large number of experiments have found a moderate degree of dependence between subsequent tests of recognition and cued recall as described by the TW-function. This paper investigates the dependence in word pair recognition. Tests of word pair recognition are conducted with the subsequent test being free recall, cued recall, recognition, and cued recognition. The dependence is compared to subsequent tests of cued recognition (i.e. recognition of a target with the presence of a cue). The results are related to a general theory of memory called TECO (Target, Lvent, Cue, & Object, sec Sikström 1996b). This theory makes different quantitative predictions depending on the number of shared connections in the subsequent tests. Using a... (More)

A large number of experiments have found a moderate degree of dependence between subsequent tests of recognition and cued recall as described by the TW-function. This paper investigates the dependence in word pair recognition. Tests of word pair recognition are conducted with the subsequent test being free recall, cued recall, recognition, and cued recognition. The dependence is compared to subsequent tests of cued recognition (i.e. recognition of a target with the presence of a cue). The results are related to a general theory of memory called TECO (Target, Lvent, Cue, & Object, sec Sikström 1996b). This theory makes different quantitative predictions depending on the number of shared connections in the subsequent tests. Using a function suggested by TECO, different degrees of dependencies arc predicted for pair and cued recognition. The predictions of the TECO-function show a non-significant deviation from observed data, whereas those of the TW-function deviate significantly in all conditions.
