Abstract
Using the Remember/Know paradigm, the nature of recollective experience was examined in recognition memory tasks. Participants gave "Remember" judgments to items that were recognized with recollection experience and "Know" judgments to items that were recognized with feeling of familiarity. Varying the presentation rates of the study items increased only "Remember" judgments. Varying the script type of items (Katakana and Hiragana) manipulated between study and test phases decreased "Know" judgments. These results suggest that "Remember" judgments reflect recollective processing and that "Know" judgments reflect perceptually familiarity processing. Also, these results are consistent with the dual-process models of recognition, which assumes that recollection and familiarity are independent processes.
