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…

Howe, Mark L.; Garner, Sarah R.; Charlesworth, Monica; Knott, Lauren – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2011
Can false memories have a positive consequence on human cognition? In two experiments, we investigated whether false memories could prime insight problem-solving tasks. Children and adults were asked to solve compound remote associate task (CRAT) problems, half of which had been primed by the presentation of Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) lists…

Dewhurst, Stephen A.; Howe, Mark L.; Berry, Donna M.; Knott, Lauren M. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2012
The effect of test-induced priming on false recognition was investigated in children aged 5, 7, 9, and 11 years using lists of semantic associates, category exemplars, and phonological associates. In line with effects previously observed in adults, nine- and eleven-year-olds showed increased levels of false recognition when critical lures were…

Howe, Mark L.; Garner, Sarah R.; Dewhurst, Stephen A.; Ball, Linden J. – Cognition, 2010
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…

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…
