Abstract
The experiment varied the time available for retrieval decisions in recognition memory. The results indicated that, although the discrimination of old from new items in a recognition test was independent of the time available for decision responses, additional processing time significantly reduced the number of false-positive identifications for low-frequency words but not for common words.Keywords
