Abstract
People might classify a memory as voluntary or involuntary using attributions based on how retrieving it felt. Subjects brought to mind information about unfamiliar items, some accompanied by a related photo. Increasing retrieval ease led subjects to judge that information came to mind in the manner of involuntary retrieval.
