Associative processes in false recall and false recognition
Article Abstract:
The study of associated events can induce false memory, with experiments involving the study of words on a list showing that false recognition and false recall are apparently related to the total number of associated words listed. The inclusion of filler words did not affect false recall levels. False recognition grew in direct relation to the number of associate words listed, implying that false recall is not dependent on the mean associative strength of the words listed. Further experiments are required to test this theory.

Dissociations between categorization and recognition in amnesic and normal individuals: an exemplar-based interpretation
Article Abstract:
Previous findings suggest that the dissociation between categorization and recognition performance in amnesic and normal people is brought about by separate memory systems. These dissociations can also be explained using a single-system exemplar memory model. This model takes the difference across groups into account. The quantitative predictions of the categorization-recognition dissociation based on this model are presented.

Disparate effects of repeated testing: reconciling Ballard's (1913) and Bartlett's (1932) results
Article Abstract:
Marked discrepancies charactrize Bartlett's 1932 and Ballard's 1913 experiments on recall. Two factors are hypothesized as responsible for the discrepant results, the type of material used and the interval between tests. The latter is considered the primary factor. Short intervals between succesive tests produces improvement in recall whereas long intervals between tests produce forgetfulness. Results support the hypotheses.
