  • Title: Effects of presentation mode on veridical and false memory in individuals with intellectual disability.
    Author: Carlin M, Toglia MP, Belmonte C, DiMeglio C.
    Journal: Am J Intellect Dev Disabil; 2012 May; 117(3):183-93. PubMed ID: 22716261.
    Abstract:
    In the present study the effects of visual, auditory, and audio-visual presentation formats on memory for thematically constructed lists were assessed in individuals with intellectual disability and mental age-matched children. The auditory recognition test included target items, unrelated foils, and two types of semantic lures: critical related foils and related foils. The audio-visual format led to better recognition of old items and lower false-alarm rates for all foil types. Those with intellectual disability had higher false-alarm rates for all foil types and experienced particular difficulty discriminating presented items from those most strongly activated internally during acquisition (i.e., critical foils). Results are consistent with the activation-monitoring framework and fuzzy-trace theory and inform best practices for designing visual supports to maximize performance in educational and work environments.
