Abstract
Abstract This book encompasses and weaves together the common threads of the four major topics that comprise the core of false memory research: theories of false memory, adult experimental psychology of false memory, false memory in legal contexts, and false memory in psychotherapy. By integrating material on all four of these topics, the book provides a comprehensive picture of our current understanding of human false memory.

ScienceJudgment under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases
28,003 Citations1974Amos Tversky, Daniel Kahneman
Three heuristics that are employed in making judgements under uncertainty are described: representativeness, availability of instances or scenarios, which is often employed when people are asked to assess the frequency of a class or the plausibility of a particular development.
Psychological ReviewThe magical number seven, plus or minus two: Some limits on our capacity for processing information.
17,493 Citations1956George Miller
The theory provides us with a yardstick for calibrating the authors' stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of their subjects, and the concepts and measures provided by the theory provide a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.
Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal BehaviorLevels of processing: A framework for memory research
9,538 Citations1972Fergus I. M. Craik, Robert S. Lockhart
An alternative framework for human memory research is outlined in terms of depth or levels of processing and some current data and arguments are reexamined in the light of this alternative framework.
Psychological ReviewA spreading-activation theory of semantic processing.
8,093 Citations1975Allan M. Collins, Elizabeth F. Loftus
The present paper shows how the extended theory can account for results of several production experiments by Loftus, Juola and Atkinson's multiple-category experiment, Conrad's sentence-verification experiments, and several categorization experiments on the effect of semantic relatedness and typicality by Holyoak and Glass, Rips, Shoben, and Smith, and Rosch.

1,901 Citations1997Lynn Nadel, Morris Moscovitch
The hippocampal formation and related structures are involved in certain forms of memory (e.g. autobiographical episodic and spatial memory) for as long as they exist and contribute to the transformation and stabilization of other form of memory stored elsewhere in the brain.

1,134 Citations1983Joseph W. Alba, Lynn Hasher
Support for the notion that what is stored is an abstracted representation of the original stimulus comes from studies that demonstrate that after a passage is read, it takes subjects the same amount of time to verify information originally presented in a complex linguistic format as it does to verify that same information present in a simpler format.

Event-related analyses of time course data show a relatively late onset and sustained duration for anterior prefrontal signal changes compared to signal changes in other activated regions, consistent with the idea that anterior prefrontal regions participate in postretrieval monitoring processes.
NeuropsychologiaImpaired use of organizational strategies in free recall following frontal lobe damage

322 Citations1996John P. Aggleton, Charles R. Shaw
Findings indicate that deficits on both subtests of the RMT are a frequent but not inevitable component of anterograde amnesia, and point to a distinct subgroup of amnesias associated with selective damage in the hippocampus or its diencephalic targets, in which there is a relative sparing of recognition under certain test conditions.

Journal of Experimental Psychology Learning Memory and CognitionA neuropsychological study of fact memory and source amnesia.
294 Citations1987Arthur P. Shimamura, Larry R. Squire
Results show that the deficit in amnesia includes an impairment in acquiring and retaining new facts, and source amnesia can also occur, but it is dissociable from impaired recall and recognition and appears to reflect difficulty in remembering the specific context in which information is acquired.
MemoryRecall Accuracy and Illusory Memories: When More is Less
287 Citations1999Michael P. Toglia
It was revealed that manipulations that increased recall of studied list items also increased false recall of theme-related, critical nonpresented words and the level of false memories was not affected by retention interval even though typical decrements in the recall of study items were observed over time.

244 Citations2001Charles J. Brainerd, Bruce Wright +2 more
Experimental control of phantom recollection was achieved with manipulations that were motivated by fuzzy-trace theory's hypothesis that the phenomenon is gist-based, and Variability in false recognition was tied to variability in phantom recollection.

While the performance of the two groups of patients was similar under all three conditions when tested after 15 min., group F was significantly inferior in the one day free recall retention test, and this deficit is interpreted as related to the classic "frontal" symptomatology (reduced attention and lack of initiative, drive, and concentration), and in part to a distinct disturbance of long term memory.

Patients with damage to either side of their hippocampal formation made more conjunction errors with pictorial stimuli than did normal subjects, supporting the hypothesis that binding is an important early step in the consolidation process and that the hippocampus is a critical component of the neural system involved in the appropriate binding of memory components.

A 2nd-generation model (conjoint recognition) is proposed that addresses limitations of the process-dissociation model and supplies additional capabilities, such as goodness-of-fit tests, the ability to measure dual processes for false-memory responses, and statistical procedures for testing within- and between-conditions hypotheses about its parameters.

The results suggest that imagination that contains more perceptual information leads to more elaborate memory representations containing specific characteristics that can be confused with actually performed actions, which is more likely to lead to false memories.

Recall improved across the three tests in all conditions, but the improvement was greater for high-than for low-imagery words and hypermnesia was shown to occur following semantic rehearsal instructions as well as imagery instructions and to occur with low- Imagery words, contrary to the imagery hypothesis of the effect.
