Nota editorial

  • In the basic paradigm for demonstrating the repetition decrement effect, researchers present participants with pairs of words. The first word in a pair is the prime (written in green) and the second is the target (written in red). During the first phase of the experiment, subjects are asked to read aloud only the target words. In some cases the words in the pairs are identical (ALARM - ALARM), in other cases they are different (ALARM - BRICK). Participants then take a surprise recognition test in which they have to distinguish target words from new words. The results indicate that repeated words are less well recognized than words presented only once (Collins & Milliken, 2019).
