Within the word recognition literature, word-frequency and hence familiarity has been shown to affect the degree of repetition priming. The current paper reports two experiments which examine whether familiarity also affects the degree of repetition priming for faces. The results of Experiment 1 confirmed that familiarity did moderate the degree of priming in a face recognition task. Low familiarity faces were primed to a significantly greater degree than high familiarity faces in terms of accuracy, speed, and efficiency of processing. Experiment 2 replicated these results but additionally, demonstrated that familiarity moderates priming for name recognition as well as face recognition. These results can be accommodated within both a structural account of repetition priming (Burton, Bruce & Johnston, 1990) and an Episodic Memory account of repetition priming (see Roediger, 1990), and are discussed in terms of a common mechanism for priming, learning and the representation of familiarity.
在单词识别文献中，单词频率以及由此产生的熟悉度已被证明会影响重复启动的程度。本文报告了两项实验，研究熟悉度是否也会影响面部重复启动的程度。实验1的结果证实，在人脸识别任务中，熟悉度确实会调节启动程度。就处理的准确性、速度和效率而言，低熟悉度的面孔比高熟悉度的面孔获得了显著更高程度的启动。实验2重复了这些结果，此外，还表明熟悉度对面孔识别和姓名识别的启动都有调节作用。这些结果既可以用重复启动的结构理论（伯顿、布鲁斯和约翰斯顿，1990）来解释，也可以用重复启动的情景记忆理论来解释（见罗德尼格，1990），本文将从启动、学习和熟悉度表征的共同机制方面进行讨论。
