• Recognition – for example, doing multiple choice questions, you are given four possible answers and have to decide which one is the right answer. Or seeing someone and being able to identify who they are – which is different from trying to recall what someone looks like.

For example, the Recognition Memory Test (Warrington 1984) assesses recognition memory for visually presented words and black-and-white photographs of faces in a two-alternative forced-choice recognition test format. This test is partic-ularly good at detecting material-specic memory.
In SAM and other strength-based models of declarative memory, recognition is modeled as item-relevant associative activation of memory breaching a threshold, while recall is modeled as sampling items from memory using the relative magnitudes of these associative activations.

Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations typically include measurement of multiple forms of memory. Many standardized memory tests commonly used in clinical neuropsychological evaluations include both immediate and delayed measures of free recall as well as a subsequent recognition component. Detailed descriptions, including administration and ...
Recognition memory is distinguished from free recall, which requires effortful search and retrieval processes. Comparisons of recall and recognition performance may assist in differential diagnosis of several neuropsychological disorders. Notably, valid comparisons of these two forms of memory require that the recognition memory test be administere...
Anyone who has taken a multiple-choice examination knows that a wild guess is better than leaving a response blank, because there is a chance that the guess will be right. In a standard four-alternative, forced-choice format, chance performance is 25% (1 of 4). If one or two alternatives can be ruled out, then there is a 33% or 50% chance, respecti...
Dual-process models of recognition memory (e.g., Mandler 1980) hold that two distinct forms of memory contribute to recognition memory judgments: stimulus familiarity and retrieval of the context in which the item occurred. These two processes, respectively, referred to as familiarity and recollection, make independent (but parallel) contributions ...
Recognition memory is often measured as the proportion of hits (i.e., “yes” responses to items encoded at study) minus false positives (i.e., “yes” responses to distractor items, which are not presented at study). This is a quick and easy way to determine discriminability or the ability to discriminate targets from foils. However, this method fails...
Recognition memory performance is influenced by many variables, including the similarity of list items. In the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm (Roediger and McDermott 1995), lists contain 15 semantic associates of a critical word that itself is not in the list (e.g., sour, candy, sugar, bitter, taste, chocolate, etc., for the nonstudied critical ...
Recognition based on familiarity can have devastating, real-life consequences. For example, eyewitnesses to a crime typically look through a series of mug shots in an effort to identify the perpetrator. Subsequently, the eyewitness may be asked to identify the perpetrator in a lineup. If an individual from the mug shots is included in the lineup, t...

For example, people with damage to the hippocam-pus have difficulty forming new long-term declarative mem-ories, while those with frontal lobe damage may experience deficits in working memory. 2. explicit memory is measured with explicit memory tests, such as recall and recognition, in which an individual is fully aware

Jul 4, 2011 · We review research addressing four key aspects of the recognition heuristic: (a) that recognition is often an ecologically valid cue; (b) that people often follow recognition when making inferences; (c) that recognition supersedes further cue knowledge; (d) that its use can produce the less-is-more effect – the phenomenon that lesser states ...
