Response Reversals in Recognition Memory
Van Zandt, Trisha; Maldonado-Molina, Mildred M.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, v30 n6 p1147-1166 Nov 2004
Using a dynamic sequential sampling model and a recently proposed model for confidence judgments in recognition memory (T. Van Zandt, 2000b), the authors examine the tendency for rememberers to reverse their responses after a primary decision. In 4 experiments, speeded "old"-"new" decisions were made under bias followed by a 2nd response', either a confidence judgment or another simple choice. The data from these experiments showed that participants know when they have made a mistake and that they respond to this knowledge by reversing their responses. Response reversals are thus shown to be important for constructing models of the response-selection process in recognition memory.
