Overview:  This study examines the effect of repetition on recollection (i.e. remember judgments) and familiarity (i.e. know judgments).

• Many dual process models of memory claim that recognition memory is a two component process in which recognition can occur either through conscious recollection of the item or through familiarity
• Tulving developed the remember/know paradigm as a way of measuring these two component processes.  Participants indicate that they remember an item if they can consciously recollect it.  They indicate that they know an item if its just familiar
• Theoretical accounts of how remember/know judgments differ include
• Remember judgments reflect episodic memory and know judgments represent semantic memory (e.g. Tulving, 1985).
• Remember judgments reflect conceptual processing and Know judgments reflect perceptual processing (e.g. Gardiner, 1988).
• Remember judgments occur when items are made distinctive and Know judgments reflect increased fluency.
• Aim was to show that conceptual processing can influence know judgments.  This was examined by repeating either exact items (Experiment 1) or exemplars of categories (Experiment 2) in either a spaced or a massed format.  From what we've said so far it makes sense that massing items at study would increase fluency without increas
