Apart from the objective quality of stored memories, recognition depends on the retrieval context produced by all items (foils) presented together with actually memorized targets and causing confusion. Memory models often conceptualize target-foil confusability via distances in psychological spaces where greater confusability originates from shorter interitem distances. We tested whether recognition spaces change when other foils are added to the retrieval context or when target memory strength is changed (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 1,311 adults).

Those predictions stay accurate even when the absolute distances are scaled up or down because of a change in memory strength. This suggests strong metric invariance of spaces used for recognition decisions under variable retrieval contexts.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/09567976251384640","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,23]],"date-time":"2025-10-23T17:48:03Z","timestamp":1761241683000},"page":"831-845","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Invariant Recognition Memory Spaces for Real-World Objects Revealed With Signal-Detection Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8433-446X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Igor","family":"Utochkin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Mind and Biology, University of Chicago"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7241-2192","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniil","family":"Azarov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and Department of Statistics, Indiana University Bloomington"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5474-8518","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniil","family":"Grigorev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Ko\u00e7 University"},{"name":"Department of Psychology, Warwick University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bainbridge W.
