In this study, we examined a source-monitoring phenomenon that arises from reactivated related information from the study phase. Three experiments showed that source attributions for target events were influenced not only by the target item itself, but also by studied information about related items. In Experiment 1, source memory for target items that have a high forward association value to a single related study item (e.g., credit) were affected by the source of the associated information (e.g., card), so that memory performance was better when associated items were presented in the same source rather than a different source. A similar effect occurred with bidirectional associates (Exp. 2), as well as with synonymous pairs of words (Exp. 3). We argue that the source information of the reactivated material can be commingled with information about a candidate during a source judgment at retrieval and thereby can affect performance.
在这项研究中，我们考察了一种源自研究阶段中被重新激活的相关信息的源监测现象。三个实验表明，对目标事件的归因不仅受到目标项目本身的影响，还受到关于相关项目的已学习信息的影响。在实验 1 中，与单个相关学习项目（例如，credit）具有高正向关联值的目标项目的源记忆受到关联信息的来源（例如，card）的影响，因此当关联项目在相同来源而不是不同来源中呈现时，记忆表现更好。在双向联想（实验 2）以及同义词对（实验 3）中也出现了类似的效果。我们认为，在检索时进行源判断时，被重新激活的材料的源信息可以与候选信息混合在一起，从而影响表现。
