that you recognise, as when, for example, you recognise someone’s face, and
perhaps remember talking to this person at a party the previous night.
At other times recognition brings nothing back to mind about what it is you
recognise, as when, for example, you are confident that you recognise
someone, and you know you recognise them, because of strong feelings of
familiarity, but you have no recollection of seeing this person before. You don
(sic) not remember anything about them.
The same kinds of awareness are associated with recognizing the pictures you
saw in the earlier experimental session. Sometimes when you recognise a
picture as one you saw earlier, recognition will bring back to mind something
you remember thinking about when the picture appeared then. You recollect
something you consciously experienced at that time. But sometimes recognizing
a picture as one you saw earlier, will not bring back to mind anything you
remember about seeing it then. Instead, the picture will seem familiar, so that
you feel confident it was one you saw earlier, even though you don’t recollect
anything you experienced when you saw it then.
For each picture please press the ‘REMEMBER’ button, if recognition is
accompanied by some recollective experience, or the ‘KNOW’ button, if
recognition is accompanied by strong feelings of familiarity in the absence of
any recollective experience.
