Depression status predicts false memory on recognition tasks
It has long been assumed that depression leads to memory impairment. However, previous research findings have been plagued with inconsistencies in methodology and overall findings. Specifically, there has been some debate over whether or not depressed people are capable of spontaneous strategy use, …

Influence of negative affect on false memory production
… emotion induction on the production rate of false memories. False memories are a significant concern for situations in which the accuracy of memory is relied upon or called into question. Within the legal system eyewitness testimonies may often be the only available evidence in determining …

Semantic and Phonological Influences on Memory, False Memory, and Reminding
… and semantic information that are encoded in memory, resulting in different patterns of memory errors at test. Experiment 3 shows that older adults are able to use these naturalistic strategies in the same way as younger adults, resulting in the same pattern of memory errors. Experiment 4 …

False memory production: effects of self-consistent false information and motivated cognition
… of one's personal past and the development of false memories have recently received intense public scrutiny. Based upon self-schema (Markus, 1977) and self-verification (Swann, 1987) theories, two studies were conducted to investigate the hypothesis that a self-schema guides cognitive …

Confabulation and false memory in young first-episode psychosis patients and normal controls
… confabulation can increase susceptibility to false memories in normal controls whereas patients with psychotic disorder generate more confabulation, but it is unclear whether their confabulation leads to increased false memory recall. Furthermore, it is unclear to what extent false memory …

Modeling False Memory in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott Paradigm: An Approach Using Holographic Declarative Memory
… how semantic associations can induce false recall and recognition (Roediger & McDermott, 1995). While cognitive architectures are able to model control processes, they often struggle with large-scale semantic representations which are required for predicting false memory. Conversely, …

The impact of psychosocial stress and biological sex on false recognition memory
… affected by cortisol and involved in declarative memory processes, the current research aimed to confirm that psychosocial stress can lead to increased rates of false recognition memory errors in humans. In addition, it attempted to show that false recognition error rates differ depending on …

Exploring Peer Perspectives on Autistic Students: A Vignette Study
… scores, reading comprehension performance, and false memory induction. The introduction focuses on the theoretical threads taken from the autism, false memory, and gender literatures and how they combine to create the underpinning of the current design. A second more controlled study was …

The Effects Of Racial Stereotypes On False Recall
… that may contribute to this is the creation of false memories. In fact, false memories have been linked to many wrongful convictions in the U.S. legal system. It is well known that memories are malleable and are often reconstructed. As a result, it has been theorized that suggestive law …

Investigations into the influence of sleep, tiredness, time of day, and caffeine on cognitive testing
… significantly better on tasks of working memory and false memory, whilst high subjective tiredness and poor sleep quality reduced associative memory performance. Caffeine helped improve performance on a false memory task the further away from one’s preferred ToD of testing the participant …

Third-party imagined interactions: expanding imagined interactions as false memories in understanding interactions
… happens when those imagined interactions create false views of what happened. To fill this research gap, this study proposed one research question and nine hypotheses investigating TPIIs, how they vary with the individual in the TPII, if they contribute to false memories and how they affect …

Aging and Selective Attention in Causal Learning
… Participants in both age groups showed a false memory effect for individual exemplars from the more experienced categories (A+, B-) suggesting that the process that allowed them to generalize causal value also interfered with their memory for individual exemplars. There was a difference …

Are Emotional Video-Clips More Likely to Elicit False Memories Than Neutral Video-Clips?
Previous studies on memory have shown that individuals remember emotional stimuli better than neutral stimuli. However, studies on false memories have also shown that emotional stimuli are more likely to elicit false memories compared to neutral stimuli. In this present study, participants were …

False memories and false eyewitness identifications: are they related?
Memory errors have become a topic of interest to psychologists in many areas. The present study asked if two types of errors of commission were based on the same mechanism, increasing the utility of findings in each area. The Deese/RoedigerMcDermott false memory paradigm (Deese, 1959; Roediger & …

The role of sleep in consolidation of multi-item bound representations
… of literature has demonstrated that in terms of memory representations, items are not encoded equally. In part this has been suggested to be affected by conceptual knowledge, with items with pre-existing conceptual knowledge easier to encode and thus, more salient in subsequent representations. …

The effect of phonological, semantic, and hybrid associates on accurate recall and false memories of adults who stutter : a preliminary study
… persists in adults who stutter. Utilizing a false memory paradigm, nine adults who stutter (AWS) were asked to listen to and then recall/produce 12 lists of 12 words each. Each word list was comprised of either semantic, phonological or an equal number of semantic and phonological associates …

Comparing the Cognitive Mechanisms of False Memories with the Misinformation and DRM Paradigms
Many methodologies have been used to generate false memories, with the misinformation (MI) paradigm and the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm being the most commonly studied. The MI paradigm generates false memories based on retroactive interference across episodes, while the DRM paradigm …

Electrophysiological and Behavioural Markers of Associative Source Memory Decline in Normal Ageing
Memory is the ability to encode and subsequently recall information (Brickman & Stern, 2009) and source memory refers to the ability to recall the source of the information, including all contextual aspects related to an event (Glisky & Kong, 2008; M. Johnson, Hashtroudi, & Lindsay, 1993). The …
