Idiomatic expressions can be interpreted literally or figuratively. These two meanings are often processed in parallel or very rapidly, as evidenced by online measures of idiomatic processing.

متن کاملThe ironic effect of guessing: increased false memory for mediated lists in younger and older adults.

Indirect (i.e., mediated) lists presented items that were only related to CLs through nonpresented mediators (i.e., directly related items).

One distortion involves the erroneous incorporation of features from one episodic memory into another, forming what are known as memory conjunction errors.

All studies compared young and older adults with respect to incidental memory for previously presented stimuli (Studies 1 and 2: everyday objects; Study 3: vacation advertisements) that had been randomly paired with an age-related cue (e.g., ...
