A large number of experiments have found a moderate degree of dependence between subsequent tests of recognition and cued recall as described by the TW-function. This paper investigates the dependence in word pair recognition. Tests of word pair recognition are conducted with the subsequent test being free recall, cued recall, recognition, and cued recognition. The dependence is compared to subsequent tests of cued recognition (i.e. recognition of a target with the presence of a cue). The results are related to a general theory of memory called TECO (Target, Event, Cue, & Object, see Sikström 1996b). This theory makes different quantitative predictions depending on the number of shared connections in the subsequent tests. Using a function suggested by TECO, different degrees of dependencies are predicted for pair and cued recognition. The predictions of the TECO-function show a non-significant deviation from observed data, whereas those of the TW-function deviate significantly in all conditions.
大量实验发现，如TW函数所描述的那样，识别和线索回忆的后续测试之间存在一定程度的相关性。本文研究了单词对识别中的相关性。进行单词对识别测试时，后续测试分别为自由回忆、线索回忆、识别和线索识别。将这种相关性与线索识别的后续测试（即在有线索的情况下对目标的识别）进行比较。结果与一种名为TECO（目标、事件、线索和对象，见Sikström 1996b）的记忆通用理论相关。该理论根据后续测试中共享连接的数量做出不同的定量预测。使用TECO提出的一个函数，可以预测单词对识别和线索识别的不同程度的相关性。TECO函数的预测结果与观察数据的偏差不显著，而TW函数的预测结果在所有条件下都有显著偏差。
