The production e

requires coming up with an appropriate label, the generation e
ff
ect (better memory for
generated than read words) may contribute to the latter e
ff
ect. In two forced-choice memory
experiments, we tested the role of generation in a picture naming task on later recognition
memory. In Experiment 1, participants named pictures silently or aloud with the correct name
or an unreadable label superimposed. We observed a generation e
ff
ect, a production e
ff
ect,
and an interaction between the two. In Experiment 2, unreliable labels were included to
ensure full picture processing in all conditions. In this experiment, we observed a production
and a generation e
ff
ect but no interaction, implying the e
ff
ects are dissociable. This research
demonstrates the separable roles of generation and production in picture naming and their
impact on memory. As such, it informs the link between memory and language production
and has implications for memory asymmetries between language production and
comprehension.
