Abstract: | The finding that new items are judged as remembered in the remember-know paradigm presents a challenge to traditional process
and systems accounts of memory. In three experiments, we demonstrated that false remember responses can be caused by misattributing
recollection to a context other than the study list. In Experiments 1 and 2, false remember responses to distractors that
were unrelated to studied words increased if they were encountered in a “preexposure” phase a few minutes or even a few days
prior to the studied list. A third experiment demonstrated that remember responses to preexposed distractors increased when
they were encoded in a manner similar to studied items, despite the more similar items being of weaker overall memory strength.
We propose a source misattribution account of false remembering to explain these data, suggesting that all remember judgments
reflect conscious recollection of contextual details, but false remember judgments are partly the result of recollection of
details from an extralist context (i.e., from a source other than the study list). |
