The influence of forewarning and accountability on strategies used to make memory-based interpersonal judgments was investigated. Subjects were asked to make judgments as to the suitability of a stimulus person for two occupations requiring either similar or dissimilar characteristics and the time required to make those judgments was measured. Overall, more time was required to make dissimilar as opposed to similar judgments. Forewarning and accountability increased median decision time for both similar and dissimilar judgments. The results are discussed in terms of the processes involved in making memory-based interpersonal judgments.
