Pictorial encoding reduces false recognition of semantic associates
ثبت نشده
چکیده
High levels of false recognition can be observed after people study lists of semantic associates that all converge on a nonpresented lure word, To test the idea that encoding distinctive perceptual information would help to reduce false recognition, we presented a line drawing representing each associated word during study list presentation and later tested recognition of studied words and lure words. Two experiments revealed marked reductions in false recognition after pictorial encoding, relative after to word encoding, Results suggest that people reject related and unrelated lures because these items lack the distinctive qualities associated with remembered pictures,

Suppressing False Recognition in Younger and Older Adults: The Distinctiveness Heuristic
False recognition can occur at high levels after participants study lists of associated words and are tested with semantically related lures. Israel and Schacter (1997) reported that robust false recognition effects are reduced substantially when young adults also study pictures representing each associate. In Experiment 1, we found that older adults, who have previously shown increased suscept...
متن کاملRetrieval conditions and false recognition: testing the distinctiveness heuristic.
High levels of false recognition are observed after people study lists of semantic associates that all converge on a nonpresented lure word. In previous experiments, we have found that orienting participants to encode distinctive information about study list items by presenting them as pictures as opposed to words produces marked reductions in false recognition. We have suggested that these red...
متن کاملWhen true recognition suppresses false recognition: evidence from amnesic patients.
False recognition occurs when people mistakenly claim that a novel item is familiar. After studying lists of semantically related words, healthy controls show extraordinarily high levels of false recognition to nonstudied lures that are semantic associates of study list words. In previous experiments, we found that both Korsakoff and non-Korsakoff amnesic patients show reduced levels of false r...
متن کاملCreating false memories with hybrid lists of semantic and phonological associates: Over-additive false memories produced by converging associative networks
The present experiments assessed false memories for critical items (e.g., dog) following the presentation of semantic associates (e.g., hound, puppy), phonological associates (e.g., log, dot), or hybrid lists of semantic and phonological associates (e.g., hound, dot). Experiment 1 indicated that the addition of only three phonological associates to a list of 10 semantic associates doubled the r...
متن کاملFailing to get the gist: reduced false recognition of semantic associates in semantic dementia.
In 2 experiments involving patients with semantic dementia, the authors investigated the impact of semantic memory loss on both true and false recognition. Experiment 1 involved recognition memory for categories of everyday objects that shared a predominantly semantic relationship. The patients showed preserved item-specific recollection for the pictorial stimuli but, compared with control part...
