This study was conducted in order to investigate the possibility that effortful processes are involved in the retrieval stage of the putative automatic task-frequency judgment. Head-injured (HI) and control groups were tested on a frequency of occurrence task under explicit-intentional retrieval (i.e., frequency estimation) and implicit-unintentional retrieval (i.e., word-stem priming) conditions. Subjects were presented with a list of nouns that appeared once, three times, and six times. Following presentation, subjects were first given a priming task, then a recall task, and finally a frequency judgment task. Although the control group performed better than the HI group on recall and frequency judgment tasks, the groups did not differ on the priming task. The results are discussed in terms of the relationship between effortful and automatic memory processes.
进行这项研究是为了调查在假定的自动任务频率判断的检索阶段是否涉及到费力的过程。对头部受伤（HI）组和对照组在明确有意检索（即频率估计）和隐含无意检索（即词干启动）条件下进行出现频率任务测试。向受试者呈现出现一次、三次和六次的名词列表。呈现之后，首先给受试者一个启动任务，然后是回忆任务，最后是频率判断任务。尽管对照组在回忆和频率判断任务上的表现优于HI组，但两组在启动任务上没有差异。根据费力的和自动的记忆过程之间的关系对结果进行了讨论。
