The Role of Time Delay in Memory Conformity

Journal Title: Roczniki Psychologiczne - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 1

Abstract

Memory conformity occurs when one person’s memory report influences another person’s subsequent report concerning the same event. In the study, we tested whether an increase in the time between a discussion of the event and its recall would be accompanied by an increase in the number of errors suggesting memory conformity. It turned out that their number was comparable, both a few minutes and a week after the conversation. In both cases, this effect was due to memory mechanisms.
