Distinctive information and false recognition: The contribution of encoding and retrieval factors

Article Abstract:

Four experiments evaluated the role of encoding-based and retrieval-based factors in the production of false recognition. The combined results of these experiments suggest that both encoding and retrieval are important for understanding false recognition and these studies suggest that visual features encountered at encoding can become associated with representations of unstudied items.

Expectations were shown to be more narrowly defined by specific traits than by general inferences and reading pace slowed when story completions lacked consistency with trait-based models.
