When people make source judgements regarding an item in memory, various characteristics that define the source of the item may interact to affect the judgements. Furthermore, source judgements may be made with differing subjective experiences of memory, as reflected in the Remember/Know (RK) paradigm. Processes underlying the RK judgements have been proposed to be independent. If independence is accepted, then the processes may also be assumed to be functionally distinct. The present study employs multidimensional signal detection analysis to assess the interaction of various source characteristics under RK judgments. |

and The Eyewitness Suggestibility Effect
|
Memory for an
event may be affected by post-event information (PEI). The extent
to which a witness may be unaware of their false reports is, however, not
well understood. The present study employs tests inspired by the
process dissociation procedure (PDP) to assess the aware and unaware influences
of memory for post-event suggestions. Subjects viewed a video and
were later exposed to misleading information. A standard, inclusion,
and an exclusion tests were then administered in which subjects were either
not given any instructions, encouraged to include PEI, and instructed to
exclude PEI, respectively. Reports of suggestions on the exclusion
tests were significantly lower than on inclusion test, yet a significant
report of misleading information in the exclusion test was found.
