“…While these correlations in combination with the predictions of encoding specificity theory (Tulving & Thomson, 1973) might imply that MRC would increase the sense of vividness, reliving, and belief compared with a simple free recall, we have yet to establish whether this is in fact the case, and whether phenomenological memory characteristics are associated with objective retrieval accuracy. In fact, free recall responses themselves may contain internal, idiosyncratic details and metacognitive statements (Diamond et al, 2020), and while such unverifiable, subjective statements are often omitted from accuracy coding of written recall (e.g., Gabbert et al, 2009;Hope et al, 2014;Miura & Matsuo, 2021;Pfeil, 2018), the occurrence of unverifiable details may provide further insight into the private perception of the remembered event.…”
