Abstract
This study extended Recognition without Awareness (RWOA) to pictorial stimuli, manipulated response bias, stimulus detail, and stimulus consistency across encoding and retrieval. Results showed increased recognition and RWOA for photos (compared to outlines), suggesting encoding detail drives RWOA. Recognition and RWOA increased when conservative responding was encouraged.
