Abstract The relation between recall and recognition has been debated in various contexts, and researchers have asked whether these tasks lie on a single continuum depending on the type of retrieval cues or whether they represent distinctly different processes. In the current experiment, we considered the continuity hypothesis, which states that recall and recognition are different only in cue information available, and we asked whether retrieval experience during various tests can further inform the nature of this relationship. Participants studied lists of 5-letter words and were tested with either no overt cues (free recall) or with the first 2 letters, first 3 letters, first 4 letters, or all 5 letters (recognition) of a word as retrieval cues. We used the remember/know/guess paradigm and asked participants to report their retrieval experience to infer the underlying experiences of recollection and familiarity. Accuracy increased continuously as the number of letter cues increased. This continuity was reflected in experiences of recollection, but familiarity increased nonlinearly across cue conditions. Our results show some support for the continuity hypothesis; however, recall and recognition do differ in that recall relies more heavily on recollection, whereas recognition relies on both recollection and familiarity.

回忆和识别会导致不同的检索体验吗？

摘要 回忆和识别之间的关系已经在各种情况下进行了辩论，研究人员询问这些任务是否位于一个单一的连续统一体上，这取决于检索线索的类型，或者它们是否代表明显不同的过程。在当前的实验中，我们考虑了连续性假设，该假设指出回忆和识别仅在可用的提示信息上有所不同，并且我们询问各种测试中的检索经验是否可以进一步说明这种关系的性质。参与者研究了 5 个字母的单词列表，并在没有明显提示（自由回忆）或单词的前 2 个字母、前 3 个字母、前 4 个字母或所有 5 个字母（识别）作为检索提示的情况下进行了测试。我们使用记住/知道/猜测范式，并要求参与者报告他们的检索经验，以推断回忆和熟悉的潜在经验。随着字母提示数量的增加，准确性不断提高。这种连续性反映在回忆的经历中，但熟悉度在提示条件下呈非线性增加。我们的结果显示了对连续性假设的一些支持；但是，回忆和识别确实不同，因为回忆更多地依赖于回忆，而识别则依赖于回忆和熟悉度。但熟悉度在提示条件下呈非线性增加。我们的结果显示了对连续性假设的一些支持；但是，回忆和识别确实不同，因为回忆更多地依赖于回忆，而识别则依赖于回忆和熟悉度。但熟悉度在提示条件下呈非线性增加。我们的结果显示了对连续性假设的一些支持；但是，回忆和识别确实不同，因为回忆更多地依赖于回忆，而识别则依赖于回忆和熟悉度。
