False memory production in schizophrenia: A neurophysiological investigation

An Investigation of False Memory 1 Running head: FALSE IMPLICIT MEMORY An Investigation of False Memory in Perceptual Implicit Tasks

False memory in schizophrenia patients with and without delusions.

Delusions are fixed 'false beliefs' and, although a hallmark feature of schizophrenia, no previous study has examined if delusions might be related to 'false memories'. We used the classic Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm to compare false memory production in schizophrenia patients who were currently experiencing delusions (ED), patients not experiencing delusions (ND) and healthy contro...

An investigation of false memory in perceptual implicit tasks.

Reports of critical lure priming in perceptual implicit tasks [e.g., McKone, E., & Murphy, B. (2000). Implicit false memory: Effects of modality and multiple study presentations on long-lived semantic priming. Journal of Memory and Language, 43, 89-109] using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott [Roediger, H. L., III, & McDermott, K. B. (1995). Creating false memories: Remembering words not presented i...

False memories in schizophrenia.

In prior studies, it was observed that patients with schizophrenia show abnormally high knowledge corruption (i.e., high-confident errors expressed as a percentage of all high-confident responses were increased for schizophrenic patients relative to controls). The authors examined the conditions under which excessive knowledge corruption occurred using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm. Whe...

Neurophysiological investigation of epilepsy

Since its discovery in the late 1920s, the electroencephalogram (EEG) has developed into an array of digitally-based techniques, integrated with video and other investigative modalities that retain a central role in diagnosis and management of patients with seizure disorders. In contrast to the technological advances, relatively little progress has been made in understanding the cerebral genera...
