Previous research on the effects of Divided Attention on recognition memory have shown consistent impairments during encoding but more variable effects at retrieval. The present study explored whether effects of Selective Attention at retrieval and subsequent testing were parallel to those of Divided Attention. Participants studied a list of pictures and then had a recognition memory test that included both full attention and selective attention (the to be responded to object was overlaid atop a blue outlined object) trials. All participants then completed a second recognition memory test. The results of 2 experiments suggest that subsequent tests consistently show impacts of the status of the ignored stimulus, and that having an initial test changes performance on a later test. The results are discussed in relation to effect of attention on memory more generally as well as spontaneous recognition memory research.
先前关于分散注意力对识别记忆影响的研究表明，在编码过程中存在持续的损伤，但在检索时的影响则更具变异性。本研究探讨了检索时选择性注意的影响以及后续测试是否与分散注意力的影响相似。参与者研究了一组图片，然后进行了一项识别记忆测试，其中包括全神贯注和选择性注意（需要做出反应的对象叠加在蓝色轮廓对象之上）试验。所有参与者随后完成了第二次识别记忆测试。两项实验的结果表明，后续测试始终显示出被忽略刺激状态的影响，并且进行初始测试会改变后续测试的表现。本文将结合注意力对记忆的更普遍影响以及自发识别记忆研究来讨论这些结果。
