Fuzzy-trace theory and children's false memories

Article Abstract:

An experimental paradigm on false recognition and another for misinformation are implemented in a mathematical model and then analyzed based on their impact on children's false-memory reports. The false-memory phenomena, which is commonly manifested in children as false-recognition effects and misinformation effects, can be best explained by fuzzy-trace theory's concepts of identity judgment, nonidentity judgment and similarity judgment and their respective contributions to children's false reports.

Optimization versus effortful processing in children's cognitive triage: criticisms, reanalyses, and new data

Article Abstract:

A study by researchers of the University of Arizona focussed on objections to research results favoring the optimization model over the effortful processing model. These models are used to explain cognitive triage. Cognitive triage suggests that during unconstrained recall, hard-to-retrieve memories come to mind only after easy-to-retrieve memories. A new experiment studying children's cognitive triage under enforced effortful processing suggested the optimization model.

Phantom recall

Article Abstract:

An experiment based on the fuzzy trace theory of recall was conducted to examine whether phantom recollection accompanied semantic intrusions in free recall as well to understand the processes responsible for phantom versus true recollection. Levels of phantom recollection appeared to be equal to or higher than levels of true recollection and the evidence indicated that the two phenomenologies had different memorial bases.
