The Process Dissociation Procedure as applied to episodic recognition requires subjects to study two lists and then determine which of the words in a test list appeared in the second list (Exclusion condition) or on either list (Inclusion condition). We demonstrate that the dual processing account of episodic recognition (Jacoby 1991) does not account for the effects of manipulating the amount of time between the study lists. In contrast, the Bind Cue Decide Model of Episodic Memory (BCDMEM) is fit to the list separation data.
