[Effects of repeated presentation of stimuli on the learning and recognition of a highly structured set of stimuli].
In this article, we report the results of two experiments which investigated the repetition effect of stimulus presentation on recognition judgement. Each stimulus in sets of stimuli had five or six binary attributes. Any two stimuli could be mutually transformed by changing values of some attributes. In the experiments, subjects learned and immediately recalled stimuli, presented one after another. Learning was repeated several times. In the following recognition task, subjects were presented, one after another, the set of test stimuli consisted of old and new stimuli and judged whether each stimulus was old or new, and rated the degree of confidence of the judgement. The results showed that when learning of the presented stimuli progressed, the degree of the confidence of 'old' judgement increased for the presented stimuli, while for the new stimuli, it increased, at first, and then decline.
