Abstract：
Models of recognition memory often assume that decisions are made independently from each other. Yet there is growing evidence that consecutive recognition responses show sequential dependencies, whereby making one response increases the probability of repeating that response from one trial to the next trial. Across six experiments, we replicated this response-related carryover effect using word and nonword stimuli and further demonstrated that the content of the previous trial-both perceptual and conceptual-can also bias the response to the current test probe, with both perceptual (orthographic) and conceptual (semantic) similarity boosting the probability of consecutive \"old\" responses. Finally, a manipulation of attentional engagement in Experiments 3a and 3b provided little evidence these carryover effects on recognition decisions are merely a product of lapses in attention. Taken together, the current study reinforces prior findings that recognition decisions are not made independently, and that multiple forms of information perseverate across consecutive trials.
摘要：
识别记忆的模型通常假设决策是彼此独立做出的。然而，越来越多的证据表明，连续的识别反应显示出顺序的依赖性，从而使一个反应增加了从一个试验到下一个试验重复该反应的可能性。在六个实验中，我们使用单词和非单词刺激复制了这种与反应相关的结转效应，并进一步证明了先前试验的内容-无论是感知的还是概念的-也可以使反应偏向当前的测试探针，感知(正交)和概念(语义)相似性提高了连续“旧”响应的概率。最后,在实验3a和3b中对注意力参与的操纵提供了很少的证据，这些对识别决策的遗留影响仅仅是注意力失误的产物。一起来看,当前的研究加强了先前的发现，即承认决定不是独立做出的，并且多种形式的信息在连续的试验中持续存在。
