Falsas memorias en el recuerdo y reconocimiento de Palabras

Abstract

English

En esta investigación se estudian las falsas memorias en el recuerdo y reconocimiento de listas de palabras fuertemente asociadas a una palabra crítica no presentada. Sólo la mitad de los sujetos hicieron recuerdo tras la presentación de cada lista, pero todos ellos respondieron posteriormente a una prueba de reconocimiento que incluía palabras presentadas, críticas y distractoras. Los sujetos recordaron las palabras críticas no presentadas en el 38% de los casos, las reconocieron en más del 70% de la ocasiones y atribuyeron el origen de sus respuestas a la presencia de las palabras críticas en las listas. Casi todas las palabras críticas producidas en el recuerdo previo fueron posteriormente reconocidas, mientras que las no producidas sólo se reconocieron en la mitad de las ocasiones. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados y se plantean diversas interpretaciones para el fenómeno de las falsas memorias.
