在14个实验中，受试者在强迫选择识别测试中的准确性与他们对自己选择的信心之间发生了分离。自然图片（例如，湖A）显示。之后，受试者被要求选择他们记得的图片，给出目标（湖A）和一张新图片（湖C）作为替代，并评估他们对自己选择的信心。当受试者也研究一幅相关的图片（B湖）时，他们的准确性往往会下降，而他们的信心却会增加。这种分离不能用识别的信号检测理论来解释，该理论假设强度决定了强迫选择测试的准确性和置信度。相反，对一般主题的熟悉可能会给人们一种错觉，认为他们准确地记住了细节。
In 14 experiments, a dissociation occurred between subjects' accuracy on a forced-choice recognition test and their confidence in their choice. Nature pictures (e.g., Lake A) were shown. Later, the subjects were asked to choose the picture that they remembered, given the target (Lake A) and a novel picture (Lake C) as alternatives, and rated their confidence in their choice. When the subjects also studied a related picture (Lake B), their accuracy often decreased while their confidence increased. The dissociation cannot be explained by signal detection theories of recognition, which assume that strength determines both accuracy in a forced-choice test and confidence. Instead, familiarity with general themes may give people the illusion that they are accurately remembering details.
