The relationship between creativity and susceptibility to associative memory illusions in the Deese/Roediger-McDermott procedure was investigated using a multiple regression analysis. Susceptibility to false recognition was significantly predicted by... Read More about Convergent, but not divergent, thinking predicts susceptibility to associative memory illusions.

A gender difference in the false recall of negative words: Women DRM more than men (2011)
Journal Article

Gender differences in susceptibility to associative memory illusions in the Deese/Roediger-McDermott paradigm were investigated using negative and neutral word lists. Women (n=50) and men (n=50) studied 20 lists of 12 words that were associates of a... Read More about A gender difference in the false recall of negative words: Women DRM more than men.

The development of automatic and controlled inhibitory retrieval processes in true and false recall (2011)
Journal Article
Knott, L. M., Howe, M. L., Wimmer, M. C., & Dewhurst, S. A. (2011). The development of automatic and controlled inhibitory retrieval processes in true and false recall. Journal of experimental child psychology, 109(1), 91-108. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2011.01.001

In three experiments, we investigated the role of automatic and controlled inhibitory retrieval processes in true and false memory development in children and adults. Experiment 1 incorporated a directed forgetting task to examine controlled retrieva...

Investigating the encoding-retrieval match in recognition memory : effects of experimental design, specificity, and retention interval (2010)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., & Knott, L. M. (2010). Investigating the encoding-retrieval match in recognition memory : effects of experimental design, specificity, and retention interval. Memory & cognition, 38(8), 1101-1109. https://doi.org/10.3758/MC.38.8.1101

Five experiments investigated the encoding retrieval match in recognition memory by manipulating read and generate conditions at study and at test. Experiments 1A and 1B confirmed previous findings that reinstating encoding operations at test enhance...

Can false memories prime problem solutions? (2010)
Journal Article
Howe, M. L., Garner, S. R., Dewhurst, S. A., & Ball, L. J. (2010). Can false memories prime problem solutions?. Cognition, 117(2), 176-181. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2010.08.009

Previous research has suggested that false memories can prime performance on related implicit and explicit memory tasks. The present research examined whether false memories can also be used to prime higher order cognitive processes, namely, insight-... Read More about Can false memories prime problem solutions?.

Investigating the attentional demands of recognition memory: Manipulating depth of encoding at study and level of attention at test (2009)
Journal Article
Knott, L. M., & Dewhurst, S. A. (2009). Investigating the attentional demands of recognition memory: Manipulating depth of encoding at study and level of attention at test. European Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 21(7), 1045-1071. https://doi.org/10.1080/09541440802539515

Two experiments investigated the effects of divided attention at test after manipulating levels of processing at study. In Experiment 1 items were studied either intact or as anagrams. In Experiment 2 items were studied with either full or divided at...

Remembering the past and imagining the future: Differences in event specificity of spontaneously generated thought (2009)
Journal Article
Anderson, R. J., & Dewhurst, S. A. (2009). Remembering the past and imagining the future: Differences in event specificity of spontaneously generated thought. Memory, 17(4), 367-373. https://doi.org/10.1080/09658210902751669

A growing interest has emerged in the role that autobiographical memory retrieval plays in simulation of future events. Cognitive explorations in this domain have generally relied on cue word paradigms with instructions to develop specific (relating...

False and veridical collaborative recognition (2009)
Journal Article
Thorley, C., & Dewhurst, S. A. (2009). False and veridical collaborative recognition. Memory, 17(1), 17-25. https://doi.org/10.1080/09658210802484817

Participants studied DRM words lists (Deese, 1959; Roediger McDermott, 1995) and then completed a recognition test individually or in a collaborative pair, trio, or quartet. The collaborative groups' responses were compared to those of equivalent siz... Read More about False and veridical collaborative recognition.

The roles of encoding and retrieval processes in associative and categorical memory illusions (2008)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Bould, E., Knott, L. M., & Thorley, C. (2009). The roles of encoding and retrieval processes in associative and categorical memory illusions. Journal of Memory and Language, 60(1), 154-164. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2008.09.002

Four experiments investigated the origin of associative and categorical memory illusions by comparing the effects of study and test associations on Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) and categorized lists. Experiments 1 and 2 found that levels of false r... Read More about The roles of encoding and retrieval processes in associative and categorical memory illusions.

Participants studied lists of rare words and their definitions (e.g. the fleshy area at the base of the thumb = thenar). They were then given recognition tests in which they were shown the definitions and asked to identify the target from a choice of...
