  • Title: True (but not false) memories are subject to retrieval-induced forgetting in children.
    Author: Price HL, Phenix TL.
    Journal: J Exp Child Psychol; 2015 May; 133():1-15. PubMed ID: 25725455.
    Abstract:
    Veridical and false memories of children aged 6 to 15 years were studied in two experiments with the retrieval-induced forgetting paradigm. Using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) false memory word lists, children's reports of true, but not false, memories showed evidence of retrieval-induced forgetting. These differences were observed across delays as long as 2 days following word list presentation. The lack of observation of retrieval-induced forgetting in children's false memories provides evidence that a key assumption in the theory of retrieval-induced forgetting, cue independence, might not consistently apply. These experiments underscore the need for both practical and theoretically motivated study of true and false memories.
