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."}],"publication_status":"published","status":"public","publication":"Journal of Experimental Social Psychology","title":"The role of recollection in evaluative conditioning","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1096-0465"],"issn":["0022-1031"]},"volume":55,"intvolume":"        55","external_id":{"isi":["000343618000020"]},"place":"Amsterdam [u.a.]","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"13648","keyword":["Evaluative conditioning","Attitude","Source awareness","Contingency awareness"],"page":"162-168","date_updated":"2026-03-27T13:53:34Z","date_created":"2026-03-27T10:21:26Z","department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"user_id":"83781","doi":"10.1016/j.jesp.2014.07.005","isi":"1","year":"2014","type":"scientific_journal_article","citation":{"ieee":"G.

One of the most debated topics in EC research is whether or not EC is dependent on contingency awareness. In this study, we go beyond this debate by examining whether contingency awareness mediates the impact of attentional resources and goal-directed attention on EC. Attentional resources were manipulated by presenting CSs and USs either within the same modality or in different modalities. Goal-directed attention was manipulated by asking participants to respond to the CSs or to the USs. Results indicate that the effect of goal-directed attention on EC is mediated by contingency awareness, whereas the effect of attentional resources on EC is not."}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1095-9122"],"issn":["0023-9690"]},"intvolume":"        43","external_id":{"isi":["000307607600003"]},"volume":43,"title":"At the crossroads: Attention, contingency awareness, and evaluative conditioning","page":"99-106","keyword":["Evaluative conditioning","Contingency awareness","Attentional resources","Goal-directed attention","Mediation"],"place":"Orlando, Fla.
