The ontogeny and durability of true and false memories: a fuzzy trace account.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fuzzy-trace theory has been developed by Brainerd and Reyna (1998, this issue) to explain a variety of findings. Here we explore the way that fuzzy-trace theory handles three phenomena concerning the creation and maintenance of false memories. We show that fuzzy-trace theory can account for seemingly paradoxical findings, thus providing theoretical clarity that has heretofore been lacking in the developmental literature.

The distinctions of false and fuzzy memories.
Fuzzy-trace theory has recently been used to account for various types of "false memories" (Brainerd & Reyna, 1998, this issue). Although components of fuzzy-trace theory-in particular the distinction between gist and verbatim traces-overlap with distinctions made in other theories of memory, those in fuzzy-trace theory provide an illuminating account of the conditions under which semantic asso...
متن کاملTrusting our memories: dissociating the neural correlates of confidence in veridical versus illusory memories.
Although memory confidence and accuracy tend to be positively correlated, people sometimes remember with high confidence events that never happened. How can confidence correlate with accuracy but apply also to illusory memories? One possible explanation is that high confidence in veridical versus illusory memories depends on different neural mechanisms. The present study investigated this possi...
متن کاملA continuous source reinstatement model of true and illusory recollection
In studies of false recognition, subjects not only endorse items that they have never seen, but they also make subjective judgments that they remember experiencing them. This is a difficult problem for most dual process models of recognition memory, as they propose that false memories should be based on familiarity, not recollection. We present a new computational model of recollection based on...
متن کاملWhat's the gist? The influence of schemas on the neural correlates underlying true and false memories.
The current study used a novel scene paradigm to investigate the role of encoding schemas on memory. Specifically, the study examined the influence of a strong encoding schema on retrieval of both schematic and non-schematic information, as well as false memories for information associated with the schema. Additionally, the separate roles of recollection and familiarity in both veridical and fa...
متن کاملFuzzy-trace theory and children's false memories.
Fuzzy-trace theory's concepts of identity judgment, nonidentity judgment, and similarity judgment provide a unified account of the false-memory phenomena that have been most commonly studied in children: false-recognition effects and misinformation effects. False-recognition effects (elevated false-alarm rates for unpresented distractors that preserve the meanings of presented targets) are due ...
