They then rated their confidence in recognizing explicit, paraphrased, inference, and false (lure) probes. False alarms were higher for unrepeated than for repeated stories, signifying a recognition criterion shift: Readers can apparently adjust their criterion, item-by-item, according to probe strength. Story repetition reduced people's recognition of story paraphrases and inferences, an outcome labeled recollection-to-reject. Functions (receiver operating characteristics) relating correct (hits) and erroneous (false alarms) acceptances bore the curvilinear, asymmetric shape observed in item memory, an outcome suggestive if not definitively diagnostic of the contributions of recollection and familiarity to discourse retrieval.
