Variability among word lists in eliciting memory illusions: evidence for associative activation and monitoring

Article Abstract:

The conundrum in the Deese, Roediger & McDermott (DRM) paradigm of the great difference in levels of false recall resulting from a reading of lists that are produced in exactly the same way was addressed. The theory that some lists of associates fail to elicit false recall was also tested and it was found that false recognition rates also varied across lists as did subjective ratings that accompanied false recognition.

Decoupling semantic and associative information in false memories: Explorations with semantically ambiguous and unambiguous critical lures

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine veridical and false memory in lists that contained 12 words that all converged onto the same meaning of a critical nonrepresented word. Results of the study suggest that false memory in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm largely reflects lexical/associative activation, rather than the formation of a meaningful thematic representation.

Two contributions of distinctive processing to accurate memory

Article Abstract:

The memory processes responsible for the acceptance of correct items and the rejection of incorrect items is investigated in the light of the concept of distinctive processing. The data gathered from the experiments conducted suggest that item- and event- based processing underlies the facilitatory effect of distinctive processing.
