title: Recognition and recall of words with a single meaning creator: Muter, Paul subject: Cognitive Psychology description: Twenty-four subjects were tested for recognition of famous surnames and then were tested for cued recall of the same surnames. For common names (e.g., Cooper), the usual pattern of recognition failure of recallable words (Tulving & Wiseman, 1975) was found. For unique, "single-node" names (e.g., Kierkegaard), virtually no recognition failure (1.4%) of recallable words was obtained. These results fit well with generation-recognition theory. publisher: American Psychological Association, Inc. date: 1984 type: Journal (Paginated) type: PeerReviewed format: text/html identifier: http://cogprints.org/4381/1/Abs1984.htm identifier: Muter, Paul (1984) Recognition and recall of words with a single meaning.
