“…In Experiment 3, TIP increased false recognition when critical lures were preceded by ten studied items, but not when they were preceded by a combination of five studied and five unstudied items from the same list. These findings, particularly those of Experiment 2 in which participants were explicitly required to make source judgements, support the suggestion by Dewhurst et al (2009) that TIP increases false recognition by disrupting source monitoring.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Abstract Three experiments investigated the effects of test-induced priming (TIP) on false recognition in the Deese/Roediger-McDermott procedure. In Experiment 1, TIP significantly increased false recognition for participants who made old/new decisions at test but not for participants who made remember/know judgements or were given diagnostic information to help them avoid false recognition. In Experiment 2, a TIP effect was observed with old/new recognition but not when participants were required to remember whether study items were spoken by a male or a female. In Experiment 3, false recognition increased when critical lures were preceded by ten studied items but not when preceded by five studied and five unstudied items from the same list. These findings suggest that TIP increases false recognition by disrupting source monitoring processes. Permanent repository link

“…However, we argue that there is a fundamental difference between remembering an item that was actually presented (a true memory) and one that was not presented (a false memory). Specifically, unlike a true memory that was consciously encoded from its physical presentation at study, a false memory is generated at encoding (see Dewhurst, Bould, Knott, & Thorley, 2009) not from its physical presentation but rather from the internal spread of activation in associative memory that occurs automatically outside of conscious awareness. Thus, priming occurred with information that was not physically presented but was generated internally and automatically without conscious awareness.…”

“…First, it should be pointed out that there is a growing consensus that false memories are generated during the encoding phase of the DRM task and not during retrieval (see Dewhurst et al, 2009). What this means is that the likelihood that the critical lure itself was generated during recall is very low.…”

Can false memories prime problem solutions?

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Abstract Previous research has suggested that false memories can prime performance on related implicit and explicit memory tasks. The present research examined whether false memories can also be used to prime higher order cognitive processes, namely, insight-based problem solving. Participants were asked to solve a number of compound remote associate task (CRAT) problems, half of which had been primed by the presentation of Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) lists whose critical lure was also the solution to the problem. The results showed that when the critical lure (a) was falsely recalled, CRAT problems were solved more often and significantly faster than problems that were not primed by a DRM list and (b) was not falsely recalled, CRAT problem solution rates and times were no different than when there was no DRM priming. A second experiment demonstrated that these outcomes were not a simple artifact of the inclusion of a recall test prior to the problem-solving task. The implications of these results are discussed with regard to the previous literature on priming and the adaptive function of false memories. Permanent repository link

In three experiments we investigated the role of automatic and controlled inhibitory retrieval processes in true and false memory development in children and adults. Experiment 1 incorporated a directed forgetting task to examine controlled retrieval inhibition.Experiments 2 and 3 utilized a part-set cue and retrieval practice task to examine automatic retrieval inhibition. In the first experiment, the forget cue had no effect on false recall for adults but reduced false recall for children. In Experiments 2 and 3, both tasks caused retrieval impairments for true and false recall, and this occurred for all age groups. Implicit inhibition, which occurs outside of our conscious control, appears early in childhood.However, because young children do not process false memories as automatically as adults, explicit inhibition can reduce false memory output.
