The Development of Automatic and Controlled Inhibitory Retrieval Processes in True and False Recall
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Knott, Lauren M.; Howe, Mark L.; Wimmer, Marina C.; Dewhurst, Stephen A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2011
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 used a part-set cue and retrieval practice task to examine…

On the Susceptibility of Adaptive Memory to False Memory Illusions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Howe, Mark L.; Derbish, Mary H. – Cognition, 2010
Previous research has shown that survival-related processing of word lists enhances retention for that material. However, the claim that survival-related memories are more accurate has only been examined when true recall and recognition of neutral material has been measured. In the current experiments, we examined the adaptive memory superiority…

Can Maltreated Children Inhibit True and False Memories for Emotional Information?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Howe, Mark L.; Toth, Sheree L.; Cicchetti, Dante – Child Development, 2011
The authors examined 284 maltreated and nonmaltreated children's (6- to 12-year-olds) ability to inhibit true and false memories for neutral and emotional information using the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. Children studied either emotional or neutral DRM lists in a control condition or were given directed-remembering or…

What Is False Memory Development the Development of? Comment on Brainerd, Reyna, and Ceci (2008)
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Howe, Mark L. – Psychological Bulletin, 2008
In this commentary, assumptions about the nature and development of children's false memories as described in a recent article by C. J. Brainerd, V. F. Reyna, and S. J. Ceci (2008) are reviewed. Specifically, questions are raised about what drives the development of false memories in fuzzy-trace theory (FTT). Recent studies that challenge a core…

Distinctiveness Effects in Children's Long-Term Retention.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Howe, Mark L.; Courage, Mary L.; Vernescu, Roxana; Hunt, Melvine – Developmental Psychology, 2000
Three experiments examined kindergartners' and second graders' retention in the context of two distinctiveness manipulations, the von Restorff and bizarre imagery paradigms. Results showed that: older children retained more information from lists of pictures or interactive images over 3 weeks than younger; younger children failed to benefit from…

Storage-Retrieval Processes of Normal and Learning-Disabled Children: A Stages-of-Learning Analysis of Picture-Word Effects.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Howe, Mark L.; And Others – Child Development, 1985
A stages-of-learning model was used to examine effects of picture-word manipulation on storage and retrieval differences between disabled and nondisabled grade 2 and 6 children. Results showed that disabled students are poorer at memory tasks and in developing the ability to reliably retrieve information than nondisabled children. (Author/RH)
