Jacoby (1991) proposed the process-dissociation procedure for estimating the contributions to memory performance of conscious (recollection) and automatic (familiarity) processes. This procedure relies on a set of assumptions that some theorists have criticized. One of possible strategies to test validity of the procedure is to examine inner-processing mechanism underlying the procedure based on results of memory performance and response latency. Eyeblink data measured in a discrete trial paradigm can offer additional suggestion for the problem. Thirty-two subjects performed a recognition memory task based on the process-dissociation procedure and their time-locked eyeblink responses were measured both in encoding phase and in test phase. A typical pattern of temporal occurrences of blinks related to stimulus (Ohira, 1995; Ohira, 1996) was observed. The result was interpreted those eyeblink responses reflected processing load and updating of working memory. Results of the three measures showed that at least in some cases the assumptions of the procedure should be violated. A three-process model of recognition memory was proposed to explain the results of the present experiment.
