Definition

  • Experimental paradigm to study the formation of false memories suggested by misleading information. The procedure is carried out in three phases. 1. The subjects are first exposed to an event. 2. They are then given incorrect information about this event. 3. The subjects are asked to remember the original event. The critical issue is whether they will incorporate the suggested misleading information into their memories.
