Abstract
The false recognition effect in continuous recognition memory was examined as a function of lag, orthographic distinctiveness of early critical stimulus (CS) words and (presumably semantic) distinctiveness (D) of experimental (E) words. False recognition was not affected by orthographic distinctiveness, although both D level and lag had some effects. The results provided little support for a features encoding hypothesis (cf. MacLeod & Nelson, 1976) or for a strict implicit associative response interpretation. Possible explanations in terms of E word D level were discussed.
