“…The reason is that critical lures are semantically similar to words in the original lists, that is the true targets. Similar to Lopes and Garcia's (2014) results, the current results showed that participants exhibited priming effect to critical lures since these words are associated with words in the original lists. In other words, items in the original lists primed the critical lures in the test phase resulting in fast responses.…”

“…Participants responded faster to critical lures than they did to new items (words that were not in the original lists). Lopes and Garcia (2014) have shown that participants in their experiment showed similar speed in responding to critical lures and true targets. The reason is that critical lures are semantically similar to words in the original lists, that is the true targets.…”

Delinquents are often associated with deception. However, there is another phenomenon which is far more menacing known as false memory. These two phenomena are different but resulting in the same detrimental consequences. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the difference between normal individuals and delinquents in their performance during false memory and intentional deception tasks. Using DRM paradigm, both groups' performances were measured by analyzing their reaction time (RT), and percentage of 'Yes' responses (accuracy) to the different types of target words. EEG was used to measure P300 Event Related Potential (ERP) for false memory and deception. Findings showed that there was a significant difference between groups in terms of accuracy for false recognition. Nondelinquent participants took longer time in deciding a deceptive response compared to the delinquents, whereas the delinquent participants took more time in responding to false recognition. Finally, P300 event-related potential (ERP) analysis revealed amplitude differences between normal and delinquent participants for deception task; however, there was no significant difference in false memory condition. In conclusion, studies investigating reaction times and neural activities are important for better understanding of the mechanisms underlying false memory and deception.

“…On the other hand, an examination of the reaction time of false and true memory in our study showed that false memory has a longer reaction time than true memory. Reaction time is defined as the time elapsed between stimulus input and response output that provides a powerful way to relate physical events to mental events, and the underlying cognitive process such as perception, attention, and memory (Lopes & Garcia, 2014). The increase of RTs for false memories does not depend on the presence of the test stimulus (positive response) or its absence (negative response).…”

Consumers’ prior experiences shape an episodic memory which largely influences their decision-making process. This episodic memory is mainly linked to cognitive and emotional perception and we know that a brand image influences our cognitive and emotional perception. Nevertheless, it has not been well described how autobiographical memories of brand images differ from those of other types of images. In this study, we hypothesized that brand pictures have a higher chance to create false memories as compared to neutral ones. We investigated this hypothesis using the Deese–Roediger–McDermott paradigm with lists of brand pictures from the local market and associated neutral images from the international affective picture system. Thirty graduate students were exposed to image stimuli followed by a distractor task and a recognition task. After the test of normality, reaction times, and false recognition rates of brands and neutral images were statistically compared using a pairwise t-test. The results showed a significant decrease in reaction times and an increase in false recognition rates of brand pictures as compared to neutral ones. Interestingly, the effect of gender on the creation of false memory by autobiographical brand images was not significant. We hope these findings could pave the way for a better understanding of the false memory mechanism.

“…Martin & Saffran, 1992). Such evidence make the possibility of studying FM in short-term tasks promising, and allow for the use of reaction time (RT) as a dependent variable in combination with the commonly used accuracy measures (Galera & Lopes, 1995;Lopes & Garcia, 2014). The greatest advantage of such approach is that it can provide finer-grained knowledge about basic memory processes in comparison to accuracy measures alone (Balota & Yap, 2011;Luce, 1986;Welford, 1980).…”

Os tópicos abordados no presente estudo são memória operacional visual, memória de reconhecimento, interação entre emoção e memórias e aspectos metodológicos do estudo de falsas memórias. De forma geral, o presente trabalho revela uma série de questões em aberto e análises alternativas que podem ser úteis para o processo de geração de hipóteses, e consequentemente para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas futuras sobre a memória humana. AbstractResearch on human memory has increased significantly in the last few decades. Inconsistencies and controversies inherent to such research, however, are rarely articulated on published reports. The goal of the present article is to present and discuss a series of open questions related to major topics on human memory research that can be addressed by future research. The topics covered here are visual working memory, recognition memory, emotion and memory interaction, and methodological issues of false memories studies. Overall, the present work reveals a series of open questions and alternative analysis which could be useful for the process of hypothesis generation, and consequently for the design and implementation of future research on human memory.Keywords: memory; human memory; hypotheses.
