Abstract

This paper considers how the two-criterion signal-detection model can be used to interpret judgements of recollection from the remember-know paradigm. We propose that, among other uses, the model can be applied to discriminate results that provide strong evidence for the influence of multiple memory processes from results that are merely consistent with the assumption of such influences. The specific logic motivating this approach is that results falsifying the two-criterion signal-detection model provide strong evidence for the influence of multiple-memory processes on judgements of recollection. We believe that focusing theory construction on results that provide strong evidence of multiple memory processes will lead to the construction of coherent, parsimonious models of the relationship between memory processes and consciousness. We review recent papers by Conway and Dewhurst (1995), Hirshman and Lanning (1999), and Conway et al. (2001) to provide examples of the usefulness of using the two-criterion signal-detection model.
