  • Title: Feelings of knowing in the Ranschburg effect.
    Author: Florer FL, Allen G.
    Journal: Am J Psychol; 2000; 113(2):179-98. PubMed ID: 10862341.
    Abstract:
    In two experiments, we assessed feelings of knowing (FOKs) for the Ranschburg effect to examine the types of retrieval ease that affect FOKs. In the Ranschburg effect, retrieval performance for repeated items differs from nonrepeated items in supramemory span tasks. We found that FOKs are affected by memory manipulations that affect recall processes, but not by manipulations that affect recognition. This suggests that processes that affect recognition, such as target familiarity, do not affect FOKs, whereas processes that affect recall, such as response suppression and guessing factors, affect FOKs. We propose that an integrated theory of FOKs must include mechanisms responsive to both encoding and retrieval factors (such as retrieval accessibility and cue familiarity), which are highly susceptible to output interference.
