Popis: International audience; Fluency is the relative ease and speed with which stimulus information is processed. It leads to an increase of recognition for items processed more fluently. Previous experiments using the Remember-Know paradigm have shown an impact of perceptual fluency only on familiarity and not on recollection. Recent episodic memory models have postulated a strong link between episodic memory and spatial processes (Burgess, 2008, Nadel & Moscovitch, 2001), especially with navigation and self-motion (Gomez et al, 2009). The present experiment was conducted to determine whether self- motion fluency affects recognition performance, and particularly has an impact on "Remember" responses. Thirty participants learned a four-minute path movie as if they were really doing the track, and then had to recognise among short paths if they were part of the learned path, followed by a Re- member-Know procedure for recognised items. Self-motion fluency was manipulated with the presence of nimble acceleration applied on a small part of the video recognition paths. Results show that the presence of a self-motion fluency significantly increases the proportion of remember responses on learned paths only. This study spotlights, for the first time, a specific fluency effect on recollection and indicates an implication of self-motion in episodic memory retrieval
