In two experiments, we examined whether hypermnesia occurs in cued recall when response bias is controlled by instructing subjects to generate more responses than they normally produce under standard cued recall instructions. Subjects processed 36 pairs of words using a relational processing, item-specific processing, or intentional learning strategy. A well-categorized list was presented in Experiment 1, whereas a loosely categorized list was used in Experiment 2. Three standard or forced cued recall tests were then administered. Hypermnesia was observed even when subjects were forced to guess. Furthermore, as in previous studies, relational processing resulted in greater net improvement than item-specific processing or intentional learning. We conclude that cued recall hypermnesia is a genuine phenomenon.
在两项实验中，我们研究了在通过指示受试者生成比他们在标准线索回忆指令下通常产生的更多反应来控制反应偏差时，线索回忆中是否会出现记忆增强现象。受试者使用关系加工、特定项目加工或有意学习策略处理36对单词。实验1呈现了一个分类良好的列表，而实验2使用了一个分类松散的列表。然后进行了三次标准或强制线索回忆测试。即使受试者被迫猜测，也观察到了记忆增强现象。此外，与之前的研究一样，关系加工比特定项目加工或有意学习产生了更大的净改善。我们得出结论，线索回忆记忆增强是一种真实的现象。
