{"pk":25461,"title":"A Dynamic Approach to Secondary Processes in Associative Recognition","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Associative recognition—the ability to discriminate between\nstudied and novel associations—has been attributed to the operation\nof a recall-like process that is not engaged during\nrecognition of single items. An alternative mechanism for associative\nrecognition is the formation of a compound memory\ncue that incorporates relational information between the two\nelements of the association. These alternatives make different\npredictions about the dynamics of associative recognition as\nrevealed by speed-accuracy trade-off (SAT) functions: if recall\nwere operating, SAT functions should approach asymptotic\nperformance at a faster rate for stronger associations, whereas\na compound cue mechanism predicts that only asymptotic performance,\nnot rate, should be affected by strength. In a review\nof the literature, we find that only asymptotic performance,\nnot rate, is affected by the strength of studied associations,\nsupporting the operation of a compound cue mechanism. We\npresent a formal model of this mechanism as a direct outgrowth\nof a model of single-item recognition (Cox & Shiffrin, 2012)\nand use it to predict observed SAT curves for both single-item\nand associative recognition in a variety of experiments","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Recognition memory; associative recognition;\nepisodic memory; memory models."}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4j4218vd","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Gregory","middle_name":"E","last_name":"Cox","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Cognitive Science Program, Indiana University","department":""},{"first_name":"Richard","middle_name":"M","last_name":"Shiffrin","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Cognitive Science Program, Indiana University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25461/galley/15085/download/"}]}
