On the difference between strength-based and frequency-based mirror effects in recognition memory.
- V. Stretch, J. Wixted
- Medicine
- Journal of experimental psychology. Learning…

Work with patient H.M., beginning in the 1950s, established key principles about the organization of memory that inspired decades of experimental work. Since H.M., the study of human memory and its… Expand
On the nature of associative information in recognition memory.
In a typical associative-recognition task, participants must distinguish between intact word pairs (both words previously studied together) and rearranged word pairs (both words previously studied… Expand
