Abstract
Under certain conditions, subjects in a forced-choice recognition task can discriminate between targets and distractors more accurately when the targets and distractors are similar than when they are dissimilar. This reversal of the conventional result is demonstrated in two picture-recognition experiments. The results of the experiments suggest that two kinds of similarity relations—perceptual and ecphoric similarity—must be specified in descriptions of the phenomena of forced-choice recognition memory.
