Most models of recognition memory rely on a strength/familiarity-based signal detection
account that assumes that the processes giving rise to a confidence judgment are the same …

A new model for confidence judgments in recognition memory is presented. In the model,
the match between a single test item and memory produces a distribution of evidence, with …

Evidence is presented that recognition judgments are based on an assessment of familiarity,
as is described by signal detection theory, but that a separate recollection process also …

According to the standard signal-detection model of recognition memory, confidence
judgments for recognition responses are reached in much the same way that old-new …

Two proposals concerning the slope of the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) in
recognition memory were tested—the constancy-of-slopes generalization (R. Ratcliff, C.-F …

According to signal detection theory, old–new recognition decisions can be affected by
response bias, a general proclivity to respond either “old” or “new.” In recognition …

The contributions of recollection and familiarity to recognition memory performance were
examined using the process dissociation, remember–know, and receiver operating …

Receiver-operating characteristics (ROCs) were examined in three recognition memory
experiments. ROCs for item information (ie, was this word presented?) were found to be …

An ongoing discussion in the recognition-memory literature concerns the question of
whether recognition judgments reflect a direct mapping of graded memory representations …

We tested two explanations for why the slope of the z-transformed receiver operating
characteristic (zROC) is less than 1 in recognition memory: the unequal-variance account …
