This article reviews research using the Deese/Roediger—McDermott (DRM) associative
memory illusion, whereby people falsely remember words that were not presented. This …

False memories have been studied by cognitive psychologists for decades, dating at least to
the pioneering studies of Bartlett (1932). False memories are important theoretically …

Two experiments (modeled after J. Deese's 1959 study) revealed remarkable levels of false
recall and false recognition in a list learning paradigm. In Exp 1, Ss studied lists of 12 words …

The authors present a computational neural-network model of how the hippocampus and
medial temporal lobe cortex (MTLC) contribute to recognition memory. The hippocampal …

Humans have a massive capacity to store detailed information in visual long-term memory.
The present studies explored the fidelity of these visual long-term memory representations …

Meaning is a fundamental component of nearly all aspects of human cognition, but formal
models of semantic memory have classically lagged behind many other areas of cognition …

The last decade has seen a flurry of experimental research into the neurocognitive
underpinnings of illusory memories. Using simple materials and tests (eg, recalling words or …

Three experiments examined the recognition performance of older (60–75 yrs) and younger
(17–25 yrs) adults for detailed colored pictures of objects as a function of whether the targets …

Abstract MS Weldon and KD Bellinger (1997) showed that people who collaborate on a
recall test (collaborative group) perform much more poorly than the same number of people …

False recognition can occur at high levels after participants study lists of associated words
and are tested with semantically related lures. Israel and Schacter (1997) reported that …
