Reducing false recognition with criterial recollection tests: Distinctiveness heuristics versus criterion shifts

Article Abstract:

Instructions to manipulate the recollective demands of the recognition test to investigate the effects of recollective expectations on false recognition are used in the experiments. The results indicated that regardless of the relative familiarity or 'strength' of stimuli, subjects made fewer memory errors when claiming something occurred as a picture than as a red word.

Memory for specific visual details can be enhanced by negative arousing content

Article Abstract:

An investigation is conducted to find how exposure duration at study and emotional content of an object affect the likelihood of remembering an item's specific visual details. Across two experiments, emotional content and negative arousing content enhanced the likelihood that specific visual details are remembered about an object.
