“…Specifically, our results suggest that frontal activity is preferentially involved in conceptual false recognition, which could explain the different effects of childhood development (Holliday and Weekes 2006) and aging (Koutstaal et al 2003) on conceptual versus perceptual false recognition, given the pronounced frontal lobe changes that occur during these developmental periods (Anderson and Craik 2000;Raz 2000;Diamond 2002). In fact, using the same behavioral paradigm as was used in this fMRI Figure 3.…”

“…Specifically, healthy older adults, compared with young adults, sometimes show a greater increase in false recognition for conceptually related items than for items that only share perceptual features with studied items (Koutstaal et al 2003; but see . Furthermore, distinct developmental trends are found for conceptual and perceptual false recognition; between the ages of 8 and 13 yr, conceptual false recognition rates increase, while perceptual false recognition rates decrease (Holliday and Weekes 2006).…”

False recognition, broadly defined as a claim to remember something that was not encountered previously, can arise for multiple reasons. For instance, a distinction can be made between conceptual false recognition (i.e., false alarms resulting from semantic or associative similarities between studied and tested items) and perceptual false recognition (i.e., false alarms resulting from physical similarities between studied and tested items). Although false recognition has been associated with frontal cortex activity, it is unclear whether this frontal activity can be modulated by the precise relationship between studied and falsely remembered items. We used event-related fMRI to examine the neural basis of conceptual compared with perceptual false recognition. Results revealed preferential activity in multiple frontal cortex regions during conceptual false recognition, which likely reflected increased semantic processing during conceptual (but not perceptual) memory errors. These results extend recent reports that different types of false recognition can rely on dissociable neural substrates, and they indicate that the frontal activity that is often observed during false compared with true recognition can be modulated by the relationship between studied and tested items.

“…Lupyan's main argument was that the memory effect is observed in hits, while any categorization effect should be observed in false alarms. The false-memory literature suggests that categorization leads to coarse encoding of category-relevant features, resulting in false alarms to lures from the same category that share these features (Koutstaal et al, 2003;Koutstaal & Schacter, 1997;Sloutsky & Fisher, 2004).…”

Are there consequences of calling objects by their names? Lupyan (2008) suggested that overtly labeling objects impairs subsequent recognition memory because labeling shifts stored memory representations of objects toward the category prototype (representational shift hypothesis). In Experiment 1, we show that processing objects at the basic category level versus exemplar level in the absence of any overt labeling produces the same qualitative pattern of results. Experiment 2 demonstrates that labeling does not always disrupt memory as predicted by the representational shift hypothesis: Differences in memory following labeling versus preference are more likely an effect of judging preference, not an effect of overt labeling. Labeling does not influence memory by shifting memory representations toward the category prototype. Rather, labeling objects at the basic level produces memory representations that are simply less robust than those produced by other kinds of study tasks.

“…Indeed, the correspondence of the reported findings with those obtained with semantically related material underlines the plausibility of this alternative account of the findings. Moreover, under experimental conditions that render acquiring of new concepts difficult (i.e., when only 1-3 category exemplars are presented during study), there appears to be no false recognition in these paradigms (Koutstaal et al, 2003(Koutstaal et al, , 1999Pidgeon & Morcom, 2014).…”

False memory for perceptually similar but conceptually distinct line drawings

Whereas most false memory effects for pictorial material are thought to be based on semantic or conceptual similarity, some findings, based on novel visual material, have been attributed solely to perceptual similarity. However, alternative accounts of these perceptual effects in terms of associative and/or conceptual processes have been proposed. We report four experiments that address these points of criticism, using pairs of perceptually similar but conceptually distinct line drawings of objects (e.g., banana -crescent). Similar lures were judged old more often than unrelated items, and confidence for false alarms was greater for similar lures than for unrelated items. This perceptual false memory effect was not modulated by rotation of stimuli between study and test, was unaffected by retention interval (0 vs. 20 min), and was obtained regardless of response format (old/new and old/similar/new). These findings rule out the criticism of previous perceptual false memory effects and more conclusively demonstrate false memory on the basis of perceptual similarity.
