Preferred term

forced confabulation ​paradigm  

Definition

  • A false memory induction method. When participants do not have the necessary elements to answer questions about certain details of an event or about an entire event, they are forced to guess what happened. The tendency of these forced confabulations to integrate the subjects' memory of the event is the focus of analysis.
