False Recognition through Semantic Amplification
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a computational model to explain a variety of results in false recognition. The processing mechanism in the model is built around a co-occurrence representation of lexical semantics, affording an account of both structure and process. We show that this model can naturally account for levels of false recognition that are seen in studies using the DRM paradigm, including item-level effects, reaction times, and event-related brain potentials.

Semantic versus phonological false recognition in aging and Alzheimer's disease.
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been found to exhibit lower levels of false recognition of semantic associates compared with healthy older adults. Because these patients may show impaired performance of episodic and semantic memory tasks, this finding could be explained by deficits in episodic memory, semantic memory, or both. The authors adapted a paradigm for comparison of semanti...
متن کاملFalse recognition of abstract versus common objects in older and younger adults: testing the semantic categorization account.
Older adults often demonstrate higher levels of false recognition than do younger adults. However, in experiments using novel shapes without preexisting semantic representations, this age-related elevation in false recognition was found to be greatly attenuated. Two experiments tested a semantic categorization account of these findings, examining whether older adults show especially heightened ...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms of semantic interference and false recognition in short-term memory
Decades of research using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm have demonstrated that episodic memory is vulnerable to semantic distortion, and neuroimaging investigations of this phenomenon have shown dissociations between the neural mechanisms subserving true and false retrieval from long-term memory. Recently, false short-term memories have also been demonstrated, with false recogniti...
متن کاملIllusory memories in amnesic patients: conceptual and perceptual false recognition.
Little is known about the neuropsychology of false recognition. D.L. Schacter, M. Verfaellie, and D. Pradere (1996) induced false recognition in amnesic patients and normal controls by exposing them to numerous semantic associates of a nonstudied word and found that amnesics showed significantly reduced levels of false recognition. To determine whether this outcome is specific to the semantic d...
متن کاملWhen true recognition suppresses false recognition: evidence from amnesic patients.
False recognition occurs when people mistakenly claim that a novel item is familiar. After studying lists of semantically related words, healthy controls show extraordinarily high levels of false recognition to nonstudied lures that are semantic associates of study list words. In previous experiments, we found that both Korsakoff and non-Korsakoff amnesic patients show reduced levels of false r...
