The Research on the Influence of Delay Interval and Retrival Condition on Short-Term False Memory

Abstract

Abstract: This research explored the influnce of retrival condition and delay interval on short-term false memory with short-term DRM paradigm on a forced choice test. The results suggested short-term false memory were basically from the lost of store details access at retrival stage. That means delay interval could improve false memory without effective retrival. But on effective retrical condition, increased access of true memory trace could greatly reduce fasle memory and the effect of delay was not significant. The results of this experiment will enrich the theory of false memory.

Key words: short-term false memory, delay interval, retrival condition

摘要： 采用短时DRM迫选任务,探讨提取条件和延迟间隔对短时错误记忆的影响,以进一步考察短时错误记忆的产生机制。结果发现,短时错误记忆的产生主要源于提取时对存贮细节通达的缺失。在无有效提取线索的条件下,延迟间隔能够增加错误记忆率;而有效提取线索存在时,真实记忆痕迹的可通达性增加能够极大避免错误记忆的产生,延迟间隔的作用则不显著。该实验的结果是对错误记忆理论解释的一种补充。
