  What are the cognitive mechanisms underlying each type of memory?
• What does the Serial Position Curve illustrate in memory recall?

  The probability of recalling an item based on its position in a list
• What was the mean overall probability of recalling an item that was on the list in Roediger & McDermott (1995) Experiment 1?

  65%
• What is the mean false alarm rate for critical items not on the list in Experiment 1?

  84%
• What does the "Remember/Know" judgment refer to in recognition experiments?

  It distinguishes between vivid memories and familiarity without specific recall
• What percentage of participants had a "Remember" judgment for studied items in Experiment 2?

  57%
• What is the implication of the findings from the DRM paradigm regarding false memories?

  False memories are easily produced and indistinguishable from true memories
• What are the three key questions raised by Freyd & Gleaves about the relationship between recovered/false memories and the DRM paradigm?

  Are words presented in a list really events? How is DRM relevant? Can we generalize from laboratory studies to real-world events?
• What was the fabricated event in Loftus & Pickrell's (1995) study?

  Being lost in a shopping mall at age 5
• What were the results regarding the acceptance of the false memory in the "Lost in a shopping mall" study?

  Seven of the 24 students accepted the false memory
• How did clarity ratings compare between true and false events in the "Lost in a shopping mall" study?

  Clarity ratings were higher for true events but did not clearly distinguish false ones
• What is the significance of the findings from the "Lost in a shopping mall" study?

  Basic findings have been replicated with other childhood events
• What are the implications of simple laboratory experiments on false memories?

  • False memories cannot be easily distinguished from true memories
  • Many childhood memories may be mixtures of suggestions and fabrications
  • Human memory is a reconstruction from various sources
