  text: Attitudes are a core construct of social psychology, and research showed that
    attitudes can be acquired by merely pairing neutral stimuli with other liked or
    disliked stimuli (i.e., evaluative conditioning, EC). In this research we address
    the role of different memory processes contributing to EC. Although it is commonly
    found that memory for the pairings increases EC, we argue that memory performance
    data obtained in the standard paradigm remain ambiguous. We hypothesize that memory
    for stimulus pairings may moderate EC by means of an intentional use of conscious
    recollection as well as through unintended effects of memory. In two experiments
    we used modified memory tests that distinguish between these different memory
    processes on an item-level by identifying recollection as the participant's ability
    to control memory performance. The analyses of the experiments showed that both
    intended and unintended influences independently moderate EC. Based on these results
    we discuss the role of different memory processes in EC, and how memory and learning
    processes may be related.
