Abstract

The relationship between integration and elaboration and consciousness in memory was investigated using the digit recall/distractor method of maintenance rehearsal. Subjects learned words either intentionally or incidentally while retaining three two-digit numbers. List items were rehearsed one, three, or six times. Subjects were given an immediate recognition test in which they were required to indicate, when recognising a word, whether or not their recognition was accompanied by conscious recollection of the item’s previous occurrence. Effects of intention to learn and number of rehearsals were found only for recognition accompanied by conscious recollection. The effect of rehearsals was found only for one to three, and not for three to six rehearsals. Further analysis indicated that the level of conscious recollection was a function of the amount of resources devoted to the rehearsal process, but no such relationship existed for recognition in the absence of conscious recollection. The results are taken as suggesting that consciousness in recollection is due to the retrieval of elaborated traces, while recognition in the absence of such consciousness is based on integrated traces.
