Conscious Cogn. 1996 Mar;5(1/2):255-9.
Wainwright and Reingold (1996) presented equations for various versions of the process dissociation procedure that has been used to separate conscious and unconscious memory processes. In the present reply it is suggested that these equations, though helpful, may not capture some of the key theoretical possibilities that could help to resolve apparent contradictions and paradoxes in the empirical literature. Specifically, there could be an independence of processes that might be estimated to a sufficient degree of accuracy for some theoretical purposes despite a violation of the assumption of stochastic independence.
温赖特和赖因戈尔德（1996年）提出了用于各种版本的过程分离程序的方程式，该程序已被用于区分有意识和无意识的记忆过程。在本回复中，有人认为这些方程式虽然有用，但可能没有涵盖一些关键的理论可能性，而这些可能性有助于解决实证文献中明显的矛盾和悖论。具体而言，尽管违反了随机独立性的假设，但对于某些理论目的而言，各过程之间可能存在一种独立性，这种独立性或许能以足够的准确度进行估计。
