Inferential Processes in Subjective Reports of Recollection

Abstract

Bruce Whittlesea has been instrumental to the process of developing a theory of memory that attempts to explain the relationship between implicit and explicit processes. His research findings on processing fluency, his novel insights regarding attribution processes in memory, and the creativity of his experimental methods have greatly influenced our work. We are grateful for his contribution to the field and for the inspiration that his research has provided to us as we continue to try to understand the basis of recognition memory and the conscious experience of remembering.
