I actually believe this is a distinction without a difference. If you look at Klein’s RPD model, the implicit memory operation is pattern matching against a prototype. The situation doesn’t have to be exactly the same as an old one, because the prototype provides expectancies that are really what the firemen is matching against. I’m not sure when was the last time you read Klein’s work, but he certainly does not distinguish between ‘pattern recognition’ or ‘pattern matching’ — it’s all the same implicit memory operation in his model.
