Schopen, Katharina; Otgaar, Henry; Howe, Mark L.; Muris, Peter – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2022
The current experiment examined the effect of forewarning on children's (11 to 12 years of age) and adults' spontaneous false memory creation by presenting participants with semantically related word lists that are often used to elicit false memories (i.e., Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm). The forewarning consisted of an explanation of…

Otgaar, Henry; Howe, Mark L.; Brackmann, Nathalie; van Helvoort, Daniël H. J. – Developmental Psychology, 2017
We examined whether typical developmental trends in suggestion-induced false memories (i.e., age-related decrease) could be changed. Using theoretical principles from the spontaneous false memory field, we adapted 2 often-used false memory procedures: misinformation (Experiment 1) and memory conformity (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, 7- to…

Dewhurst, Stephen A.; Knott, Lauren M.; Howe, Mark L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
Three experiments investigated the effects of test-induced priming (TIP) on false recognition in the Deese/Roediger-McDermott procedure (Deese, 1959; Roediger & McDermott, 1995). In Experiment 1, TIP significantly increased false recognition for participants who made old/new decisions at test but not for participants who made remember/know…

O'Sullivan, Julia T.; Howe, Mark L. – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 1998
Argues that metamemory should be conceptualized as personalized, constructed knowledge consisting of accurate and naive beliefs. Illustrates the advantages of such a conceptualization using data about the development of children's beliefs about long-term retention. Concludes by sketching future directions for research in this area. (DSK)
