Article Synopsis
  • The study combines the Deese-Roediger and McDermott (DRM) paradigm with visually guided saccade tasks to create a new DRM-Saccade method for investigating recognition decisions.
  • In Experiment 1, participants used a pro/anti saccade task and showed slower saccadic latencies for correctly rejecting critical lures, but similar latencies for recognizing studied items and incorrectly recognizing lures.
  • Experiment 2 involved a two-target saccade task and found that participants corrected their initial decisions to improve recognition accuracy, suggesting that quick saccadic movements reflect cognitive processing before slower, more detailed source-monitoring occurs.

Previous research has shown that the exposure to misleading information continues its detrimental effect on memory over time for negatively arousing events. However, research has also shown that both high-and low-arousing negative events are vulnerable to distortion from misinformation. Therefore, the present study set out to explore the impact of retention interval on memory for negative (arousing and non-arousing) and neutral events in the misinformation paradigm.

Background: The prevalence of Dirofilaria immitis infection in dogs is increasing globally and spreading into new areas. Prevalence of dirofilariosis in the state of Queensland, Australia, was as high as 90% before the introduction of macrocyclic lactones. Limited research on prevalence of D.

Article Synopsis
  • Previous research indicates that techniques enhancing true memory can also increase false memory susceptibility, with the generation effect being an exception where generating items results in more accurate recall.
  • In the DRM paradigm study by Soraci et al., it was found that generating list items heightened true memory while reducing false memory due to enhanced item-distinctiveness.
  • In this study, generative processing on valenced stimuli showed no immediate difference in false recognition rates, but after a week, generating negative stimuli increased false memory rates, highlighting the interplay between item-specific and relational processing in long-term retention.
