Abstract
Two experiments are reported that attempt to evaluate whether people can accurately monitor the contents of their memories when they are unable to retrieve those memories. Both experiments used recently learned paired-associates as memory materials; S s were asked to predict which unrecalled response items they would be able to recognize by referring to their feelings of knowing about the missing items. The results show that the Ss were able to make relatively accurate predictions about recognition failures and successes. The general process revealed by the findings (called the memory-monitoring or MEMO process) is discussed in relation to recall and recognition thresholds.
