“…We think that the answer is that the existing analyses of these data support dual processes or dual factors but do not discriminate between independence and dependence. For example, assume that recollection is completely dependent on familiarity (e.g., Humphreys, 1976Humphreys, , 1978Humphreys & Bain, 1983) 5 and that R equals the probability of recollection conditional on familiarity. The expressions for the inclusion and exclusion probabilities are given in Equations 6 and 7.…”

Following study, participants received 2 tests. The 1st was a recognition test; the 2nd was designed to tap recollection. The objective was to examine performance on Test 1 conditional on Test 2 performance. In Experiment 1, contrary to process dissociation assumptions, exclusion errors better predicted subsequent recollection than did inclusion errors. In Experiments 2 and 3, with alternate questions posed on Test 2, words having high estimates of recollection with one question had high estimates of familiarity with the other question. Results supported the following: (a) the 2-test procedure has considerable potential for elucidating the relationship between recollection and familiarity; (b) there is substantial evidence for dependency between such processes when estimates are obtained using the process dissociation and remember-know procedures; and (c) order of information access appears to depend on the question posed to the memory system.
