Abstract :

[en] Whether the format of a recognition memory task influences the contribution of recollection and familiarity to performance is a matter of debate. The authors investigated this issue by comparing the performance of 64 young (mean age = 21.7 years; mean education = 14.5 years) and 62 older participants (mean age = 64.4 years; mean education = 14.2 years) on a yes–no and a forced-choice recognition task for unfamiliar faces using the remember– know–guess procedure. Familiarity contributed more to forced-choice than to yes–no performance. Moreover, older participants, who showed a decrease in recollection together with an increase in familiarity, performed better on the forced-choice task than on the yes–no task, whereas younger participants showed the opposite pattern.
