Get the gist? The effects of processing depth on false recognition in short-term and long-term memory [PDF]
Gist-based processing has been proposed to account for robust false memories in the converging-associates task. The deep-encoding processes known to enhance verbatim memory also strengthen gist memory and increase distortions of long-term memory (LTM ...

Not lost in translation: writing auditorily presented words at study increases correct recognition “at no cost” [PDF]
© 2016 Taylor & Francis. Previous studies have reported a translation effect in memory, whereby encoding tasks that involve translating between processing domains produce a memory advantage relative to tasks that involve a single domain.

Adaptive false memory: Imagining future scenarios increases false memories in the DRM paradigm [PDF]
Previous research has shown that rating words for their relevance to a future scenario enhances memory for those words. The current study investigated the effect of future thinking on false memory using the Deese/Roediger–McDermott (DRM) procedure.

Neural mechanisms of reactivation-induced updating that enhance and distort memory [PDF]
We remember a considerable number of personal experiences because we are frequently reminded of them, a process known as memory reactivation. Although memory reactivation helps to stabilize and update memories, reactivation may also introduce distortions

The Effect of Limited Attention and Delay on Negative Arousing False Memories [PDF]
Previous research has shown that, in comparison to neutral stimuli, false memories for high arousing negative stimuli are greater after very fast presentation and limited attention at study.
