Testing signal-detection models of yes/no and two-alternative forced-choice recognition memory.

Abstract: The current study compared three models of recognition memory in their ability to generalize across yes/no and two-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 threshold-like-recollection process to a continuous familiarity process. The mixture signal-detection model assumes a continuous memory strength process, but the old item distribution consists of a mixture of two distribu… Show more

“…The goodness of fit statistics for the unequal-variance signal detection model [χ 2 (3) = 6.49, 12.84, and 7.14 for the H-25, C-100, and C-25 groups, respectively] were lower than the corresponding values for the high-threshold/signal detection model [χ 2 (3) = 6.60, 27.69, and 8.34, respectively]. Thus, the unequal-variance signal-detection model provided a better fit of the ROC data for all three groups, a result that is consistent with many prior individual and group ROC analyses (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”

“…Two previous studies: Yes/no and 2AFC recognition memory experiments For the model mimicry applications to recognition memory, we adopted data from two previous studies that collected both yes/no and 2AFC recognition judgments (33 participants in Jang, Wixted, & Huber, 2009;29 in Smith & Duncan, 2004), and conducted another experiment (which is described below). In both previous experiments, participants studied a list of 280 words that were presented one at a time for 5 s each.…”

“…A longstanding debate has concerned whether the 2AFC and yes-no tasks are supported by the same or by different underlying memory processes (e.g., Bayley, Wixted, Hopkins, & Squire, 2008;Migo, Montaldi, Norman, Quamme, & Mayes, 2009), and a related controversy concerns the correct method of computing d' in order to compare memory performance across the two tasks (given that different signal detection models are associated with different theoretical claims about memory; Jang, Wixted, & Huber, 2009). For our purposes, this debate was not critical.…”
