Abstract
Consistent with the research by Jacoby, Shimizu, Daniels and Rhodes (2005), our previous research revealed the levels of processing affected the recognition of foils when comparing semantic processing and phonological processing for action events. This effect can be interpreted as a result of source constrained retrieval. In the current study, we compared verbal tasks and self-performed tasks which involved enactment of action events. Participants recognized more words if they encoded them through self-performed tasks than verbal tasks. However, the SPT effect did not emerge in the recognition of foils. Consistent with Cho & Fujita (2011), this research has shown that manipulation of encoding does not necessarily lead to the same mode of processing in the recognition of foils.
