ABSTRACT

Three experiments studied recognition during posthypnotic amnesia (PHA) employing confidence ratings rather than the traditional yes/no format. As the criterion for recognition was loosened, an increase in hits was accompanied by an increase in false alarms, especially to distractor items that were conceptually related to, or semantically associated with, targets. Nevertheless, hits exceeded false alarms at every level of confidence. In addition, amnesic subjects had difficulty identifying the particular list on which recognized items were presented for study or the correct order in which targets appeared on the study list. Taken together, these findings support the conclusion that successful recognition during PHA is more likely to be mediated by a priming-based feeling familiarity than conscious recollection.

 抽象的

三项实验研究了催眠后遗忘症 (PHA) 期间的识别，采用置信度评级而不是传统的是/否格式。随着识别标准的放宽，命中率的增加伴随着误报的增加，特别是对于概念上与目标相关或语义上相关的干扰项。尽管如此，在各个置信水平上，点击率都超过了误报。此外，健忘症受试者难以识别特定的列表，其中所识别的项目被呈现以供研究，或者目标出现在研究列表中的正确顺序。总而言之，这些发现支持这样的结论：PHA 期间的成功识别更有可能是通过基于启动的熟悉感而不是有意识的记忆来介导的。
