Electrophysiological evidence for the effects of emotional content on false recognition memory
2018, CognitionCitation Excerpt :At subsequent test, they frequently falsely recognize the lure word with high confidence. In addition, subjectively compelling memory errors can also be reliably induced using categorized stimuli (Koutstaal & Schacter, 1997; Seamon, Luo, Schlegel, Greene, & Goldenberg, 2000). In this procedure, several exemplars (words or pictures) per category are presented during encoding.
The nature and consequences of false memories for visual stimuli
2018, Journal of Memory and LanguageCitation Excerpt :One possible explanation for these differences in false memory rates is distinctiveness. That is, pictures contain more details which are distinct from each another and this tends to weaken the associatively-based generation of false memories (Koutstaal, Schacter, & Brenner, 2001; Seamon, Luo, Schlegel, Greene, & Goldenberg, 2000). So, the cognitive processes underlying visual and verbal false memories might be different, and hence, it is unknown whether false memories for visual stimuli also exert positive influences on subsequent priming tasks.
Emotional valence of stimuli modulates false recognition: Using a modified version of the simplified conjoint recognition paradigm
2016, CognitionCitation Excerpt :The results showed that false recognition increased with the valence changing from positive and neutral to negative DRM lists of words due to the increase in semantic similarity between false and true words and the decrease of success in suppressing false alarms by verbatim memory (Brainerd et al., 2008). However it is unclear if this finding is applicable to pictorial materials as mounting evidence illustrates the significant differences between the text and pictorial stimuli during memory processes (e.g., Israel & Schacter, 1997; Kapucu et al., 2008; Schacter et al., 1999; Seamon, Luo, Schlegel, Greene, & Goldenberg, 2000). For example, pictures are more vivid and distinctive than words, which results in significant differences in false memory (e.g., Schacter et al., 1999).
Television advertisements create false memories for competitor brands
2015, Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionCitation Excerpt :Howe et al. (2010, experiment 3) found that adults’ false memories for negative-emotional DRM lists increased over a week, whilst those for neutral lists stayed constant. Seamon et al. (2000) found that false recognition for non-presented pictures of items related to presented category pictures increased over 3 days. Most relevant to the current investigation, Sherman (2013) found that false memory for brand names increased over a week in both between and within-subjects designs.
