Summary   This experiment investigates how perceptual enhancement is similar to recognition memory. In it, participants are presented with a series of words that they are to read quickly. Then they are given a task where they see a word for a very short duration, followed by a mask and are asked to identify it. They tend to identify the words they saw in the original list more often than new words.

Abstract Presenting a word enhances its later perceptual identification. This article focuses on the relation between this effect on perception and recognition memory. Prior experiments have revealed that perceptual enhancement persists over days but, like recognition memory, is influenced by manipulations of retrieval conditions. I conclude that both perceputal and memory tasks rely on the retrieval of memory for whole prior processing episodes but can differ in terms of the number an nature of retrieval cues that they provide. I describe perception and memory within a common framework.
