Memory Conjunction Error: Effects of Semantic Relatedness between Study and Test Compound Words and Warning against False Positives
نویسنده
چکیده
A memory conjunction error (MCE) is said to occur when a novel test item composed of parts of previously studied items is falsely recognized as old. This study investigated the effects of warning against false positives and the semantic relatedness between study and test items on the magnitude of the MCE. Results indicate that while the MCE depends critically on the semantic relatedness, warning in itself is not of much help in preventing the MCE, suggesting that conjunction occur at an early stage of memory processes, probably at the time when study items are presented.

Some of theories which try to explain the mechanisms underlying false memory phenomenon postulate that false memories are due to existence of semantic relations between studied items which increase memory's vulnerability to this kind of distortion. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of shifting attention away from semantic relations among words in associative lists...

A hallmark of adaptive cognition is the ability to modulate learning in response to the demands posed by different types of tests and different types of materials. Here we evaluate how older adults process words and sentences differently by examining patterns of memory errors. In two experiments, we explored younger and older adults' sensitivity to lures on a recognition test following study of...

متن کاملThe roles of associative responses at study and semantically guided recollection at test in false memory: the Kirkpatrick and Deese hypotheses
False recall is found for semantically related words that are not presented on both categorized and associatively structured study lists. Four experiments provide evidence that the associative list method produces false memories because of semantic processes involved in studying list words (the Kirkpatrick hypothesis), but that false memories produced by categorized lists occur because of the u...
