Source Memory: A Review
Journal Title: Ankara Üniversitesi Dil ve Tarih-Coğrafya Fakültesi Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 58, Issue 2
Abstract
Memory records include different kinds of information representing from whom, how, where and when those records were obtained. Source monitoring is an attribution process of memories to their origins. This monitoring is also required for discriminating a specific memory record among other memory traces. Investigating in which situations individuals are more prone to source misattributions and in which situations they are more resistant to these source errors may help us understand this mechanism, with which the origin of knowledge is monitored. According to source monitoring theory, false memories are considered as a failure in this monitoring mechanism (Johnson, Hashtroudi and Lindsay 3; Lindsay 325). Thus, source memory studies are crucial from both theoretical and a practical point of view. In the introduction part of the review, the source memory literature is reviewed in detail and the factors affecting the source monitoring process are mentioned. In the second and the third part of the review, the relation between memory for item and its source and the methods used in source memory research are presented, respectively.
