| Key findings | Proposes a threefold framework distinguishing memory testing methods (intentional versus incidental instructions), retrieval strategies (voluntary versus involuntary), and states of awareness divided into "remembering" (recollection) and "knowing" (familiarity). Argues that links among task performance, memorial awareness, retrieval strategies, processes, and memory representations are more intricate than any current framework or theoretical scheme acknowledges. |
Abstract
Abstract This chapter covers tasks, retrieval strategies, states of consciousness, task dissociations, and process dissociations and dissociations in reports of subjective awareness. It also reviews and combines recent data to understand better the relationship between task performance, retrieval strategies, and states of awareness. This leads to the adoption of a framework that makes a threefold distinction between methods of testing memory as defined by intentional and incidental task instructions; voluntary and involuntary retrieval strategies and subjective states of conscious and unconscious awareness with respect to the past. These conscious memorial states are further sub-divided into recollective experiences, which are referred to as remembering, and feelings of familiarity, which are referred to as knowing. This chapter also clarifies the distinction between memory tasks and the chapter suggests that the relationships between task performance, memorial states of awareness, retrieval strategies, retrieval processes, and memory representations are much more intricate than is acknowledged by any current framework or theoretical scheme.
