Question: Theoretical Implications of Implicit Memory You see your friend Travis at the coffee shop, but he looks different and you're not sure why. When he catches you looking at him oddly, he laughs and tells you that he had a cooking mishap last week and accidentally singed off most of his eyebrows. Why did you know that something had changed but fail to pinpoint what it was specifically? Because Travis's appearance changed, you no longer had access to your normal processing pathway for his face. It was thus more difficult to recognize him and you were sensitive to that difficulty. You recognized Travis, but your recognition was more fluent than normal and you were sensitive to that change. You recognized Travis, but your recognition was less fluent than normal and you were sensitive to that change. This would never happen: Anyone would definitely notice the change in Travis's appearance immediately.
