{"pk":27810,"title":"Assumption Violations in Forced-Choice Recognition Judgments: Implications from the Area Theorem","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Trials in a two-alternative forced-choice (2AFC) recognition-memory task require individuals to choose the stimulus in apair that they deem as having been previously studied. Be-cause of the relative nature of the judgments made, 2AFC tri-als are typically considered to be free from response biasesconcerning the old/new status of stimuli. Recent studies havesuggested that this assumption is incorrect, and individuals of-ten resort to single-stimulus old-new (ON) judgments instead.The present study tests this claim by joint modeling 2AFCand ON judgments using extended SDT models that includethe possibility of ON contamination. Results show that therelative-judgment assumption provides an excellent account ofthe data, providing no support for the notion of ON contami-nation in typical experimental designs.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"recognition memory"},{"word":"Bias"},{"word":"Signal Detection"},{"word":"Forced choice"},{"word":"Mixture"}],"section":"Publication-based-Talks","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7k3014st","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"David","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kellen","name_suffix":"","institution":"Syracuse","department":""},{"first_name":"Henrik","middle_name":"","last_name":"Singmann","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Zurich","department":""},{"first_name":"Sharon","middle_name":"","last_name":"Chen","name_suffix":"","institution":"Syracuse","department":""},{"first_name":"Samuel","middle_name":"","last_name":"Winiger","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Zurich","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27810/galley/17450/download/"}]}
