Mickes, Laura; Johnson, Emily M.; Wixted, John T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
Recollection has long been thought to play a key role in associative recognition tasks. Evidence that associative recollection might be a threshold process has come from analyses of the associative recognition receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Specifically, the ROC is not as curvilinear as a signal detection theory requires. In addition,…

Mickes, Laura; Hwe, Vivian; Wais, Peter E.; Wixted, John T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2011
People are generally skilled at using a confidence scale to rate the strength of their memories over a wide range. Specifically, low-confidence recognition decisions are often associated with close-to-chance accuracy, whereas high-confidence recognition decisions can be associated with close-to-perfect accuracy. However, using a 20-point rating…

Jang, Yoonhee; Wixted, John T.; Huber, David E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2009
The current study compared 3 models of recognition memory in their ability to generalize across yes/no and 2-alternative forced-choice (2AFC) testing. The unequal-variance signal-detection model assumes a continuous memory strength process. The dual-process signal-detection model adds a thresholdlike recollection process to a continuous…
