The main distinction was between recollection and familiarity, as measured by subjective experiences of 'remembering' and 'knowing'. Factors previously found to enhance overall recognition performance (e.g., self-reference, imagery, enactment) were found to enhance remember but not know responses. These findings confirm the validity of the distinction between recollection and familiarity and highlight the value of using first-person measures of subjective experience in memory research.
