【 摘 要 】

The dual-process theory of recognition memory posits that recognition is supported by two separable processes: familiarity and recollection. Familiarity is the feeling of previously encountering something, without retrieval of contextual information about that encounter, whereas recollection refers to additional retrieval of contextual details (Yonelinas, 2002). While it is generally agreed that recognition of a single item can be supported by both processes, memory for novel associations between items is usually thought to require recollection (e.g., Yonelinas, 1997; Donaldson and Rugg, 1998; Hockley and Consoli, 1999). Nonetheless, one situation when memory for an association between items might be supported by familiarity is when the items are bound together as a single unit; so-called “unitization” (e.g., Yonelinas et al., 1999; Rhodes and Donaldson, 2008; Jäger and Mecklinger, 2009; Diana et al., 2011; Tibon et al., 2014a,b).
