Abstract

By manipulating divided- and undivided-attention at retrieval stage, this study investigated the effects of conscious controlled processing and automatic processing upon retention of recognition test and word fragment completion test. Experiment 1 examined the retention of unattended words by selective attention procedure. Evidence for retention of unattended words was found when attention was divided at retrieval but was not found when undivided on both test. Experiment 2 examined the effects of processing capacity allocated to word learning. At both retrieval conditions, recognition judgement was dependent on processing capacity but word fragment completion was not. Experiment 3 examined level of processing(LOP) effects when attention was divided or undivided at retrieval. On recognition test, LOP effects were found and the effects were smaller at divided than undivided attention. But on word fragment completion test, LOP effects were not found both at divided and undivided attention. These findings support the notion that recogniton relies an both data- and conceptually-driven processing and word fragment completion relies primarily on data-driven processing.
