The Effect of Processing Degree of DRM Words and Context on False Memory under Directed Forgetting Condition

Abstract

Abstract: This study was aim to investigate the false memory phenomenon when DRM words were learned under directed forgetting conditions, and to reveal the underlying causes of this phenomenon. In the Experiment 1 and 2, under directed forgetting conditions, we manipulated deep/shallow processing and context respectively. The result of Experiment 1 showed only when deep processing was executed, DRM words under the F cue were more susceptible to be inhibited than R cue, and the error recognition of the bait words was closely related to get back extracting of deep processing learning items under each cues. In Experiment 2, it was found that both mass presentation context and random presentation context were affected by the directed forgetting instructions, inhibiting the correct recognition of learning words. However, error recognition of bait words under the mass presentation context was more closely related to the resume extracting of learning words under each cues than random presentation context. In the directed forgetting conditions, it was reasonable using FTT theory to explain the result of Experiment 1, and using AAT theory to explain the result of Experiment 2.

Key words: false memory, directed forgetting, processing degree, context.

摘要： 在定向遗忘条件下探讨DRM词加工时产生的错误记忆现象,并探究造成这一现象的深层原因。实验一和实验二分别操纵了词的深、浅加工以及词所处的情境。实验一的结果发现只在深加工时,F指令下的DRM词受到抑制激活,低于R指令下的再认正确率,关键诱词的错误再认也与各指令下DRM词的恢复提取密切相关;实验二的结果发现集中情境和随机情境均会受到遗忘指令的影响抑制DRM词的正确再认,但集中情境下关键诱词的错误再认与各指令下DRM词的恢复提取关联更紧密。在定向遗忘条件下,用FTT理论解释实验一的结果较为合理,用AAT理论解释实验二的结果较为合理。
