Experiment 2 expanded on these findings by pairing the faces with background locations and manipulating associative strength of the face-location pairs.

To address this issue, we apply metacognitive sensitivity, a reliable method based on confidence ratings that outperform previous awareness measures, in an online nonclinical sample (<i>N</i> = 44) to assess awareness in the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). Using this approach, we found that awareness and advantageous decision-making are not independent processes; an increase in metacognitive sensitivity strongly predicted an improvement in task performance in nearly all blocks of the task. A lab-based preregistered replication (<i>N</i> = 47) confirmed these findings. Interestingly, some participants demonstrated awareness without advantageous decision-making, suggesting that awareness is a necessary - but not sufficient - condition for optimal performance.

This cost of production has been interpreted by assuming that production interferes with rehearsal.

This study aims to bridge the gap between these two well-established phenomena by comparing the differences in directed forgetting and the production effect in the context of recognition. Mixed- and pure-list designs were utilized to provide an index of each of these mechanisms in both procedures. Along with a standard production effect and directed forgetting effect in the mixed-list conditions, we found evidence for strength primarily driving results in both procedures.
