Category Cueing: Increasing Recall to Reduce FalseRecognition

摘要: The present work focuses on recall-to-reject, one of the central memory editing mechanisms thought to prevent occurrence false memories. Recall-to-reject occurs when recall a studied item is used correctly reject an associated distractor despite its high familiarity. In series four experiments, category cues were increase probability recall-to-reject process. When semantically distractors in recognition task (Experiments 1 and 2), eliminated effect but overall level errors was not reduced due simultaneous familiarity participants’ tendency answer consistently. These side effects, however, could be successfully by using phonologically distractors: Experiment 3, suppression with replicated and, moreover, alarm rate reduced. Furthermore, results Experiments where no explicit instructions given, reveal that participants spontaneously use without explicitly being instructed to. 4, items included study list, important role mutual exclusivity stimuli for effectiveness recall-to-reject. Overall, reported experiments provide strong evidence demonstrate potential reduce errors. Therefore, are consistent dual-process theories memory.
