The enactment effect is one of a number of effects (e.g., bizarreness, generation, perceptual interference) that have been treated in common theoretical frameworks, most of them focusing on encoding processes. Recent results from McDaniel, Dornburg, and Guynn (2005) call into question whether bizarreness and, by association, related phenomena such as enactment are better conceptualized as arising due to retrieval processes. Four experiments investigated the degree to which retrieval processes are responsible for enhanced memory for enacted phrases. Participants were presented with two pure study lists and later recalled the lists separately (inducing pure retrieval sets) or recalled the lists together in a single test (inducing a combined or mixed retrieval set). Across all four experiments, the combined recall condition consistently failed to enhance the size of the enactment effect. The results provide no support for the retrieval account but are generally consistent with encoding accounts.
施行效应是许多效应之一（例如，奇异、产生、知觉干扰），这些效应都被置于共同的理论框架中进行研究，其中大多数研究都集中在编码过程上。最近，麦克丹尼尔、多恩伯格和圭恩（2005）的研究结果对奇异，以及相关现象（如施行）是否更好地被理解为由于检索过程而产生提出了质疑。四个实验研究了检索过程在多大程度上导致了对施行短语的记忆增强。参与者接受了两个纯学习列表，然后分别回忆（诱发纯检索集）或在单个测试中一起回忆（诱发混合或混合检索集）。在所有四个实验中，组合回忆条件始终未能增强施行效应的大小。结果不支持检索假设，但与编码假设基本一致。
