We investigated the effect of processing fluency induced by spatial cueing on recognition memory judgments. Participants memorized pictures of everyday objects, and their spatial attention was manipulated in a Remember/Know recognition memory test. Stimulus location was either predicted (valid condition) or unpredicted (invalid condition) using an arrow cue. The results revealed that familiarity-based false recognition increased in the invalid condition. In the invalid condition, participants may have attributed part of the perceived disfluency to the spatial cue and overestimated the fluency for the stimulus, leading to increased false recognition. In contrast, in the valid condition, participants may have attributed some parts of the perceived fluency to the spatial cue and underestimated the fluency for the stimulus, leading to decreased false recognition. In short, spatial cueing induces reasoning about the source of fluency and biases recognition memory.
