Out of Place, Out of Mind: Schema-Driven False Memory Effects for Object-Location Bindings
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lew, Adina R.; Howe, Mark L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
Events consist of diverse elements, each processed in specialized neocortical networks, with temporal lobe memory systems binding these elements to form coherent event memories. We provide a novel theoretical analysis of an unexplored consequence of the independence of memory systems for elements and their bindings, 1 that raises the paradoxical…

What Factors Underlie Associative and Categorical Memory Illusions? The Roles of Backward Associative Strength and Interitem Connectivity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Knott, Lauren M.; Dewhurst, Stephen A.; Howe, Mark L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
Factors that affect categorical and associative false memory illusions were investigated in 2 experiments. In Experiment 1, backward associative strength (BAS) from the list word to the critical lure and interitem connectivity were manipulated in Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) and category list types. For both recall and recognition tasks, the…

Dividing Attention Lowers Children's but Increases Adults' False Memories
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Otgaar, Henry; Peters, Maarten; Howe, Mark L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
The present study examined the impact of divided attention on children's and adults' neutral and negative true and false memories in a standard Deese/Roediger-McDermott paradigm. Children (7- and 11-year-olds; n = 126) and adults (n = 52) received 5 neutral and 5 negative Deese/Roediger-McDermott word lists; half of each group also received a…

Test-Induced Priming Impairs Source Monitoring Accuracy in the DRM Procedure
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dewhurst, Stephen A.; Knott, Lauren M.; Howe, Mark L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
Three experiments investigated the effects of test-induced priming (TIP) on false recognition in the Deese/Roediger-McDermott procedure (Deese, 1959; Roediger & McDermott, 1995). 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…
