On the possibility of using reaction time to study false memories
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research on false memories has extensively used the recognition and recollection of lists of semantically associated words, called the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. In the DRM procedure, the measure of accuracy/errors is usually the main dependent variable. In this paper we review research that integrated reaction time measures into the DRM paradigm and discuss the future contributions of measures of reaction time to the understanding of false memories.

Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of shifting attention away from semantic relations among words in associative lists...

It is possible that memory errors are an in...
