“…Along similar lines, Marsh and Bower (2004) reported that simply asking participants to describe what came to mind during encoding*a form of generating*may actually inflate false memory rates. Interestingly, when participants generate images of themselves interacting with objects presented in thematic lists, false memory rates in the DRM task are reduced relative to a control condition involving reading (Gunter, Bodner, & Azad, 2007) but the relative false memory rate (approximately 51%, Gunter et al, 2007, Experiment 3) is considerably higher than that observed when participants describe the details guiding their own imagery generations (Experiments 1Á2; approximately 20%, Foley et al, 2006, Experiment 2).…”
