We proposed that a Remember response would only be given in
instances when there was true recognition of the exact item which would
include the specific visual details, but that not all instances of true recognition
would be accompanied by some recollective experience of the encoding
context. We proposed that a Know response would be given in instances of
recognition of the item when the memory did include memory for the specific
visual details but there was no accompanying recollective experience and also
when there was no memory for the specific visual details but some recognition
of the item. We proposed that a New response in the RKN task would be given
in instances where there was no recognition at all of the item (when a new
response would be given in the SSN task) and also in some of the instances
where a similar response would be given in the SSN task when these indicate
that there is no recognition of this particular item but there is semantic
activation indicating that an item similar to this was seen before. We are
making no predictions of the relative proportions for each response and
therefore roughly one third of each response type is indicated.
