Abstract
The Tulving-Wiseman function of recognition failure of recallable words is defined by the relation between the conditional probability of recognition given recall, P(Rn/Rc), and the probability of recognition, P(Rn). Hintzman (1993) proposed a distinction between algebraic maximum and average maximum values of P(Rn/Rc) to support his earlier claims (Hintzman, 1992) that the Tulving-Wiseman function is a mathematical artifact. This article shows that the distinction depends on a crucial assumption of Hintzman's argument that is unjustified on both empirical and rational grounds
