The development of formal models has aided theoretical progress in recognition memory research. Here, I review the findings that are critical for testing them, including behavioral and brain imaging results of single-item recognition, plurality discrimination, and associative recognition experiments under a variety of testing conditions. I also review the major approaches to measurement and process modeling of recognition. The review indicates that several extant dual-process measures of recollection are unreliable, and thus they are unsuitable as a basis for forming strong conclusions. At the process level, however, the retrieval dynamics of recognition memory and the effect of strengthening operations suggest that a recall-to-reject process plays an important role in plurality discrimination and associative recognition, but not necessarily in single-item recognition. A new theoretical framework proposes that the contribution of recollection to recognition depends on whether the retrieval of episodic details improves accuracy, and it organizes the models around the construct of efficiency. Accordingly, subjects adopt strategies that they believe will produce a desired level of accuracy in the shortest amount of time. Several models derived from this framework are shown to account the accuracy, latency, and confidence with which the various recognition tasks are performed.

识别记忆：对关键发现的回顾和将它们关联起来的综合理论

形式模型的发展有助于识别记忆研究的理论进步。在这里，我回顾了对测试它们至关重要的发现，包括在各种测试条件下的单项识别、多元识别和联想识别实验的行为和大脑成像结果。我还回顾了测量和识别过程建模的主要方法。审查表明，一些现存的双过程回忆措施是不可靠的，因此它们不适合作为形成强有力结论的基础。然而，在过程层面，识别记忆的检索动力学和强化操作的效果表明，从回忆到拒绝的过程在多元歧视和联想识别中起着重要作用，但不一定在单项识别中。一个新的理论框架提出，回忆对识别的贡献取决于对情节细节的检索是否提高了准确性，它围绕效率的构造来组织模型。因此，受试者采用他们认为会在最短的时间内产生所需准确度水平的策略。显示了从该框架派生的几个模型，以说明执行各种识别任务的准确性、延迟和置信度。受试者采用他们认为会在最短的时间内产生所需准确度的策略。显示了从该框架派生的几个模型，以说明执行各种识别任务的准确性、延迟和置信度。受试者采用他们认为会在最短的时间内产生所需准确度的策略。显示了从该框架派生的几个模型，以说明执行各种识别任务的准确性、延迟和置信度。
