  • Title: Processes underlying developmental reversals in false-memory formation: comment on Brainerd, Reyna, and Ceci (2008).
    Author: Ghetti S.
    Journal: Psychol Bull; 2008 Sep; 134(5):764-7; discussion 773-7. PubMed ID: 18729572.
    Abstract:
    C. J. Brainerd, V. F. Reyna, and S. J. Ceci (2008) reviewed compelling evidence of developmental reversals in false-memory formation (i.e., younger children exhibit lower false-memory rates than do older children and adults) and proposed that this phenomenon depends on the development of gist processing (i.e., the ability to identify and process the semantic theme of word lists, events, etc.). A full understanding of development reversals, however, cannot be achieved without further characterizing the role played by complementary or opposing processes. Suggestions for future research are made from this perspective.
