  • Title: Effects of conceptual processing on familiarity-based recognition.
    Author: Ngo CT, Brown A, Sargent J, Dopkins S.
    Journal: Can J Exp Psychol; 2010 Mar; 64(1):67-76. PubMed ID: 20384421.
    Abstract:
    Two experiments compared the impact of conceptual and perceptual processing at encoding on the familiarity-based recognition of items without preexisting conceptual representations. The stimuli for the experiments were visual designs and nonsense letter strings. The process dissociation procedure was used in conjunction with the process dissociation equations and the Dual Process Signal Detection model to assess the contributions of familiarity-based recognition and recollection in the recognition of the stimuli. A conceptual processing advantage was observed in both experiments: familiarity-based recognition was enhanced more by conceptual than by perceptual processing at encoding. It is suggested that the results may be problematic for the view that conceptual priming underlies the conceptual processing advantage.
