Category Cueing: Increasing Recall to Reduce FalseRecognition

Angebote / Angebote:

Memory is subject to a range of distortions. But mechanisms that protect memory against distortion also exist. This book focuses on recall-to-reject, one of the central memory editing mechanisms thought to prevent the occurrence of false memories. Recall-to- reject occurs when recall of a studied item is used to correctly reject an associated distractor despite its high familiarity. The theoretical part of this dissertation gives an overview of memory editing mechanisms and reviews experimental research on the recall-to- reject process. In the empirical part a series of four experiments is reported, where the ability of category cues to increase the probability of the recall-to-reject process is investigated. Furthermore, moderating factors for the effectiveness of recall-to- reject are investigated. Overall, the results provide evidence for recall-to-reject and demonstrate its potential to reduce false recognition errors. Theoretical, methodological, as well as practical, implications are discussed. This book is recommended to people interested in experimental memory research.
