Abstract
Abstract Two kinds of strategies can be distinguished by which people can arrive at a frequency estimate: online strategies and memory-based strategies. Online strategies are based on a frequency record, which is formed during encoding. Subsequent frequency judgements can be directly based on this record. In contrast, when people use memory-based strategies, they base their estimate on a memory sample drawn at the time of judgement. The Strategy Application Model predicts under which conditions online strategies and memory-based strategies are used. This chapter describes an experiment in which one of the key assumptions of the Strategy Application Model is tested regarding the role of cognitive effort on the selection of judgement strategies.

Repeating nonfamous names resulted in their increased recallability and a corresponding increase in estimates of their frequency, indicating that different memory manipulations affected availability in a similar fashion.

There were strong positive correlations between frequency judgment sand recall (with the influence of actual frequency removed) and frequency estimation and recall (given one or more of the following conditions): list instances were not categorized aloud as they were presented; frequency estimation was preceded by cued recall; Frequency estimation was delayed by a week.
