Resumen
[ENG]Abstract A normative study was conducted using the
Deese/Roediger–McDermott paradigm (DRM) to obtain
false recognition for 60 six-word lists in Spanish, designed
with a completely new methodology. For the first time, lists
included words (e.g., bridal, newlyweds, bond, commitment,
couple, to marry) simultaneously associated with
three critical words (e.g., love, wedding, marriage).
Backward associative strength between lists and critical
words was taken into account when creating the lists.
The results showed that all lists produced false recognition.
Moreover, some lists had a high false recognition
rate (e.g., 65%; jail, inmate, prison: bars, prisoner, cell,
offender, penitentiary, imprisonment). This is an aspect of
special interest for those DRM experiments that, for
example, record brain electrical activity. This type of list
will enable researchers to raise the signal-to-noise ratio in
false recognition event-related potential studies as they
increase the number of critical trials per list, and it will be
especially useful for the design of future research.
