Does Learning Styles Influence False Memory Generation?
Journal Title: Psychological Thought - Year 2021, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
Human memory has been studied for several years. But due to its complex nature, the quest to understand properties/processes associated with it never fades. It has many properties, and one of them is its reconstructive nature. The vulnerability of false memories is not only dependent on exogenous factors (for example deep processing, retention intervals, list items, characteristics). Instead, it is also reliant on endogenous factors (for example age, emotions, mood state, arousal level), as well as with some personality factors. This study explores the idea that personality learning styles viz. field-independent and field-dependent influence the formation of false memory on the Deese–Roediger–McDermott (DRM) paradigm. The study reports that on recall test, field-dependent learners identify more critical lures as compared to filed independent learners. In the recognition test, the sensitivity of critical lures was found to be more in field-dependent individuals than field-independent. The response biases were conservative in critical lure recognition.
