ABSTRACT

A major assumption of the transfer inappropriate processing shift account of verbal overshadowing is that poor recognition performance is due to competing and inappropriate processes used during the encoding, recall, and recognition stages. The present study tested the TIPS account. Participants watched a video of a burglary during an encoding task and attempted to identify the burglar from a photo lineup during a recognition task. Encoding and recall instructions were varied between participants to encourage featural or configural processes at the encoding and recall stages. Prior to the encoding task, some participants were given intentional encoding instructions to focus on the face of the person in the video. Other participants were given incidental encoding instructions or not told anything. Prior to the recall task, some participants were given instructions to recall the description of the burglar, and other participants were not. Results revealed an interaction between encoding and recall instructions on recognition performance.

摘要

转移不适当处理转移帐户的一个主要假设是，识别性能差是由于在编码、回忆和识别阶段使用的竞争和不适当的过程。本研究测试了 TIPS 账户。参与者在编码任务期间观看了入室盗窃的视频，并在识别任务期间试图从照片阵容中识别出窃贼。参与者之间的编码和回忆指令各不相同，以鼓励编码和回忆阶段的特征或配置过程。在编码任务之前，一些参与者被给予有意的编码指令，以专注于视频中的人脸。其他参与者被给予了附带的编码指令，或者没有被告知任何事情。在召回任务之前，一些参与者被指示回忆起窃贼的描述，而其他参与者则没有。结果揭示了编码和召回指令对识别性能的相互作用。
