The reactivation of associated information affects source monitoring.

摘要: In this study, we examined a source-monitoring phenomenon that arises from reactivated related information the study phase. Three experiments showed source attributions for target events were influenced not only by item itself, but also studied about items. Experiment 1, memory items have high forward association value to single (e.g., credit) affected of associated card), so performance was better when presented in same rather than different source. A similar effect occurred with bidirectional associates (Exp. 2), as well synonymous pairs words 3). We argue material can be commingled candidate during judgment at retrieval and thereby affect performance.
