Words of varying pre-experimental frequency were presented up to 10 times each. On each presentation, three responses were allowed—new, remember, and know—the last for words that seem familiar, but give no conscious recollection of an earlier presentation. A novel pattern of results was predicted by the SAC memory model. SAC used the same parameter values used in fits to other tasks and provided good fits to the participants' remember and know responses.
