“…Like the generation of spontaneous false memories in the DRM paradigm, solving CRAT problems is believed to involve a process of spreading activation, a link shared with the associative-activation account of false memories (Howe, Wimmer, Gagnon, & Plumpton, 2009;Howe et al, 2010aHowe et al, , 2011. If both CRAT problems and false memories utilize the same spreading activation mechanism, it seems as if CRAT problems provide an ideal platform from which to demonstrate priming effects with false memories (Howe et al, 2010a).…”
