“…Researchers have also studied a number of cognitive variables as predictors of false memories in the DRM. A growing body of research has demonstrated a negative correlation with working memory (Parker, Garry, Engle, Harper, & Clifasefi, 2008;Peters, Jelicic, Haas, & Merckelbach, 2006;Peters, Jelicic, Verbeek, & Merckelbach, 2007). This relationship appears to be stronger under conditions that call for a high degree of source monitoring, such as when participants are forewarned about the types of memories errors the DRM tends to produce (Watson, Bunting, Poole, & Conway, 2005).…”

Decades of research show that people are susceptible to developing false memories. But if they do so in one task, are they likely to do so in a different one? The answer: "No". In the current research, a large number of participants took part in three well-established false memory paradigms (a misinformation task, the Deese-Roediger-McDermott [DRM] list learning paradigm, and an imagination inflation exercise) as well as completed several individual difference measures. Results indicate that many correlations between false memory variables in all three inter-paradigm comparisons are null, though some small, positive, significant correlations emerged. Moreover, very few individual difference variables significantly correlated with false memories, and any significant correlations were rather small. It seems likely, therefore, that there is no false memory "trait". In other words, no one type of person seems especially prone, or especially resilient, to the ubiquity of memory distortion.

“…Working memory involves the active maintenance and manipulation of information and recruits dorsolateral prefrontal regions (Curtis & D'Esposito, 2003), the same regions that are involved in retrieval monitoring in the DRM task and other tasks. Lövdén (2003) found that individual differences in working memory correlated negatively with the DRM illusion and other false-memory tasks (see also Parker, Garry, Engle, Harper, & Clifasefi, 2008;Peters, Jelicic, Haas, & Merckelbach, 2006;Peters, Jelicic, Verbeek, & Merckelbach, 2007;Peters, Smeets, Giesbrecht, Jelicic, & Merckelbach, 2007). Moreover, the relationship between working memory and the DRM illusion can be stronger under conditions that require a high degree of monitoring (McCabe & Smith, 2002;Watson, Bunting, Poole, & Conway, 2005), and Unsworth and Brewer (2010) used latent variable analysis to show that source monitoring mediates the relationship between working memory and DRM false memory.…”

False memories and fantastic beliefs: 15 years of the DRM illusion

This article reviews research using the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) associative memory illusion, whereby people falsely remember words that were not presented. This illusion has broadly influenced basic theories of memory in cognitive psychology and neuroscience and naturally raises the question as to how these theories apply to more complex autobiographical memories. Some applicability is evident from research linking individual differences in the DRM illusion to false autobiographical memories (e.g., misremembering public events) and fantastic autobiographical beliefs (e.g., memories from past lives). But which aspects generalize? Here it is argued that a process-oriented approach is needed in order to answer this question. Many productive years of DRM research indicate that multiple and often opposing psychological processes cause even the most basic false memories. In light of these discoveries, more researchers need to use methods that isolate these component processes if the goal is to understand false memories both in the lab and in life.

“…We developed an adapted version of the DRM paradigm (Deese, 1959;Roediger & McDermott, 1995) so as to tap memory efficiency, memory errors, and source attributions. Participants were administered a Dutch version of the DRM paradigm consisting of eight selected word lists drawn from a normative study Peters, Jelicic, & Merckelbach, 2007;Peters, Jelicic, Haas, & Merckelbach, 2006a). Each list consisted of 15 words (e.g., bed , nap, pillow, snooze) semantically related to a nonpresented critical lure word (e.g., sleep ).…”

Patients with schizophrenia showed poorer memory efficiency and were more prone to make internal-external source misattributions with high confidence. However, they did not more often falsely recognise critical lure words than controls. Executive dysfunctions predicted memory efficiency, but not source misattribution performance. Conclusion. Our findings provide further evidence that schizophrenic patients' memory impairments are intimately related to fundamental neurocognitive deficits.Correspondence should be addressed to Maarten
