Description

The present study attempted to determine the effects of the organization of lists and retention interval on false memory. False recognition was induced by presenting the subjects with words which were closely associated with a critical lure. The subjects estimated the frequency of usage in a blocked presentation order (high organization condition), or a letter counting task in a random presentation order (low organization condition). The subjects were then tested both immediately after the study phase and two weeks later. The rate of false recognition and the remembered judgments for the critical lures in the low organization condition were significantly lower than those in the high organization condition. A reliable decrease of true recognition and remembered judgments for the presented words was obtained across the retention interval in the high organization condition, but was not obtained for the critical lures.
