remember-know paradigm

The remember-know paradigm is a way researchers study different types of memory. When a person recognizes something as familiar, they might "remember" it with specific details about the context in which they saw it, indicating a conscious recollection. Alternatively, they might simply "know" it feels familiar without recalling details, reflecting a sense-based familiarity. This approach helps distinguish between memories that involve detailed recalling versus those based on a general feeling of familiarity, providing insight into how our memory systems work and how different memory experiences are experienced and processed.
