On each trial of the experimental procedure the participant read a list of words and made successive recognition judgements to multiple test words. The bias for a given recognition judgement was more conservative if the judgement followed a correct positive response to a target than if it followed a correct negative response to a lure. Similar results were not observed for successive semantic recognition judgements. The bias shift was greater when the study list was short than when the list was long. The results suggest that participants in a recognition task have a sense of the size of the set of targets that might possibly be presented on the next trial and that, under conditions in which a word can only be presented once during the test phase, their bias becomes more conservative after a positive response to a target because the set is depleted.
在实验程序的每次试验中,参与者阅读一系列单词,并对多个测试单词进行连续的识别判断。如果给定的识别判断是在正确回答目标单词之后做出的,那么其偏向性比在正确回答诱饵单词之后做出的更保守。对于连续的语义识别判断,没有观察到类似的结果。当学习列表较短时,偏差变化比列表较长时更大。结果表明,在识别任务中,参与者对可能在下一次试验中呈现的目标集的大小有一定的感觉,并且在测试阶段一个单词只能呈现一次的情况下,由于集合已经耗尽,他们在对目标单词做出正面反应后,其偏向性变得更加保守。
