Description

Many memory models assert that strength of familiarity-based recognition memory is based on the accumulation of evidence. A recurring question in the debate of how to model familiarity-based memory is what type of information can serve as “evidence”? This question is problematic, because although many dominant models of recognition memory assume the strength of evidence is important, they fail to define what characterizes evidence. We set out to evaluate what type of pictorial attributes might serve as evidence by displaying images that were visually transformed (mirror-reversed) while remaining identical in meaning.
