Warning, Pay Attention To The Status Of Different Cognitive Methods That False Memory

Studies have shown that human memory is not an accurate reproduction of past events. False memory, like the correct memory,contains essential information of human memory. With the development of modern cognitive psychology, the phenomenon of false memory are more and more attracted. To explore false memory will help people understand the potential process of human memory.Researchers in previous studies the factors of affecting false memory with DRM paradigm.Many studies have found that, warning and attention state are important factor affecting the false memory. Whether warning can be effective in improving false memory, it is a variety of differences between the experimental results. Attention to the False Memory does not have a uniform conclusion, there are different sizes and even opposite effects of various experimental study uncompromising. Therefore, it is necessary to examine warning and attention. Cognitive style reflects the individual in cognitive processing has a different meta-cognitive skills, such as attention control skills, information organization and retrieval capabilities, there are differences in cognitive styles whether the false memory effect, field-independent are test and field-dependence were tested whether differences exist in false memory worth exploring. Therefore, this study focused on the cognitive styles of different individuals in different warnings, the different attention to the word-based differences in memory problems.In this study, DRM paradigm, two experiments were designed. Experiments to explore a cognitive style, early warning prompted the impact of false memory, using 2 (cognitive style: field dependence; field-independence) x 3 (warning:no warning; learning phase before the warning, and then test phase of recognition before the warning)×3 (item type:studied items; the lure; unrelated items) three-factor mixed design; of these cognitive style, early warning prompts were tested between the variables were tested within the project type variable. Experiment 2 to explore cognitive style, attention status of the false memory effect using 2 (cognitive style: field-independence, field dependence) x 2 (attention condition:Focus; divided attention) x 3 (item type:studied items; lure; unrelated items) three-factor mixed experimental design, in which cognitive way, attention condition were tested between the variables, item type were tested within the project type variable.The results indicated:1. Different cognitive styles of individual are different in the error memory, field-independent subjects'errors rate in recognition is higher than field-dependent subjects, field-independent individuals are more vulnerable to associated false memory.2. Warning before learning phase can improve the false memory, reduce false recognition, while the correct memory also reduced. In the factors of early warning, false memory and real memory is covariant. Warning after learning phase before recognition test did not affect recognition significantly.,3. The result revealed that there is no difference in critical lure recognition rate between full attention and divided attention. False memory is not sensitive to the general level of attention changes.
