“…In the few studies that examined the memory sensitivity of critical items and yoked associates (e.g., Neely & Tse, 2007;Tse et al, 2011;Westerberg & Marsolek, 2003), researchers created versions of study lists in which the critical item was substituted for the yoked associate so as to measure the hit rates, false alarm rates, and memory sensitivity (often measured in d ′ ) of these items in the signal detection framework. Due to the differential degrees of association with list items for critical items and yoked associates, their d ′ differences reflect the associative strength of an item with respect to the other items in the list.…”

“…Specifically, they intermixed the list items from various DRM lists, such that the underlying gist traces of critical items became more challenging to identify. In the current study, we followed the typical procedure of DRM studies (e.g., Tse et al, 2011) and presented the DRM lists corresponding to critical items in blocks in order to provide an optimal design to test the potential construallevel effect on memory processing.…”

“…The order of list items in each of the DRM lists was held constant: the strongest associates appeared first and the other items appeared in descending order by the strength of association to the critical items. This follows the typical procedure in the DRM studies (e.g., Tse et al, 2011). The first 12 associates of each critical item were presented.…”

“…This false memory effect, as elicited by the DRM lists, is robust and replicable under various conditions (see, e.g., Gallo, 2006;Roediger et al, 2001, for reviews). In subsequent studies (e.g., Neely & Tse, 2007;Tse et al, 2011;Westerberg & Marsolek, 2003), researchers reported that when DRM lists were studied, participants showed lower memory sensitivity for critical items (i.e., discriminability between studied and nonstudied critical items) than for randomly chosen yoked associates, which are not as associated with other items in the DRM lists as the critical items. However, less is known about whether the false memory effect and the differences in memory sensitivity between critical items and yoked associates could be modulated by participants' construal level (e.g., inclined to global vs. local processing) during the encoding of DRM lists.…”

Construal level refers to the level of abstractness that events and objects are represented, with high construal level promoting relational processing, whereas low construal level, item-specific processing. Three experiments (total N = 432) were conducted to investigate how priming construal level affects encoding of Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) lists (e.g., bed, dream … converged to a critical item sleep), and then modulates free recall and recognition memory performance. Before and during list encoding, participants were primed with high/low construal level by identifying global/local letter in composite letters in a Navon task, choosing category (e.g., body)/exemplar (e.g., liver) to common objects (e.g., internal organ) in a twoalternative-forced-choice task, or by narrating on a particular incident they had power over other people or someone else had power over them. Half of critical items (and yoked associates) were studied and half were not, so their hit rates, false alarm rates, and memory sensitivity were measured. Results showed the typical false memory effect and lower memory sensitivity for critical items (vs. yoked associates), but there was no significant effect of primed construal level on memory performance in all experiments, despite our sample sizes ensuring strong statistical power. Hence, construal-level priming does not modulate memory performance in the DRM task.

“…The first explanation was based on associative activation theories of false memory (Deese, 1959;Roediger, Balota, & Watson, 2001;Underwood, 1965), which assume false memory arises primarily due to activation of the critical lure from list items. According to Watson et al, a simple associative activation account could explain the over-additive pattern if it is assumed that (1) there are distinct phonological and semantic networks (cf., Tse, Li, & Neill, 2011) and (2) activation within each network reaches an asymptote such that adding additional associates of the same type produces diminishing returns. The result of adding additional semantic associates in their Experiment 1 supports such an assumption (see also Robinson & Roediger, 1997).…”

This project investigated the underlying mechanisms that boost false remember responses when participants receive study words that are both semantically and phonologically similar to a critical lure. Participants completed a memory task in which they were presented with a list of words all associated with a critical lure. Included within the list of semantic associates was a target that was either semantically associated (e.g., yawn) to the critical lure (e.g., sleep) or shared the initial (e.g., slam) or final (e.g., beep) phoneme(s) with the critical lure. After hearing the list, participants recalled each list item and indicated whether they just knew it was on the list or if they instead recollected specific contextual details of that item's presentation. We found that inserting an initial phonemic overlap target boosted experiences of recollection, but only when semantically related associates were presented beforehand. The results are consistent with models of spoken word recognition and show that established semantic context plus initial phonemic overlap play important roles in boosting false recollection.

An effective factor by which false memories can arise is relatedness which includes not only semantic associations but also perceptual resemblance. This issue raises questions about how patterns of perceptual features are represented in memory and how they relate to semantic representations. In five experiments, we investigated the memory processes underlying the false recognition of perceptually or semantically related pictures from the perspective of fuzzy trace theory. Multinomial processing tree model analyses for the conjoint recognition paradigm showed that the parameter representing gist trace retrieval not only contributes to false acceptances of semantically related pictures, but also underlies the false recognition of non-semantically related abstract shapes. These results challenged the hypothesis that the false recognition of non-semantically related distractors is solely due to interference with the verbatim suppression process. These experiments also showed that adding a surface feature (colour) to the category exemplars increases false recognition of related distractors by enhancing the contribution of the familiarity process, but only for pictures of real objects. Comparisons between experiments showed that different variants of the conjoint recognition model, used to analyse the effects of the same experimental manipulation, can lead to partially different conclusions.
