Effects of perceptual similarity but not semantic association on false recognition in aging
This study investigated semantic and perceptual influences on false recognition in older and young adults in a variant on the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm. In two experiments, participants encoded intermixed sets of semantically associated words, and sets of unrelated words. Each set was presented in a shared distinctive font. Older adults were no more likely to falsely recognize semantica...
متن کاملThe influence of perceptual similarity and individual differences on false memories in aging.
Previous false memory research has suggested that older adults' false memories are based on an overreliance on gist processing in the absence of item-specific details. Yet, false memory studies have rarely taken into consideration the precise role of item-item similarity on the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying perceptual false memories in older adults. In addition, work in our laborat...
متن کاملSemantic versus phonological false recognition in aging and Alzheimer's disease.
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been found to exhibit lower levels of false recognition of semantic associates compared with healthy older adults. Because these patients may show impaired performance of episodic and semantic memory tasks, this finding could be explained by deficits in episodic memory, semantic memory, or both. The authors adapted a paradigm for comparison of semanti...
متن کاملPerceptual similarity affects the learning curve (but not necessarily learning).
What role does item similarity play in motor skill acquisition? To examine this question, we used a modified version of the chord learning task (Seibel, 1963) that entails producing simultaneous finger key presses, similar to playing a chord on a piano. In Experiment 1, difficulty, as indexed by response time (RT) to a particular chord on the first session, was held constant, and chords that we...
متن کاملEffects of Using Simple Semantic Similarity on Textual Entailment Recognition
We applied various WordNet based similarity measures to the RTE (Recognizing Textual Entailment) task in order to compare the effects of them on Textual Entailment Recognition. Although the improvements over a baseline system are not big, many of them show positive effects.
