Fluency and the Inaccuracy of Recall

We focus on a couple of issues that are prompted by 6erne & Kordes's discussion of flow of recall as a phenomenological indicator of the inaccuracy of recall and on how they see the relationship between this result and existing work on fluency. We make two theoretical distinctions concerning the role played by fluency in recall that are needed to better assess that relationship. We argue that once these distinctions are in place, it is no longer clear whether there are any major tensions between existing work on fluency and the idea that flow of recall is associated with the inaccuracy of recall.
