Resumen
[EN]Previous research using the Deese–Roediger–
McDermott (DRM) paradigm has shown that lists of
associates in which the critical words were easily identified
as the themes of the lists produce lower levels of false
memories in adults. In an attempt to analyze whether this
effect is due to the application of a specific memory-editing
process (the identify-to-reject strategy), two experiments
manipulated variables that are likely to disrupt this strategy
either at encoding or at retrieval. In Experiment 1, lists were
presented at a very fast presentation rate to reduce the
possibility of identifying the missing critical word as the
theme of the list, and in Experiment 2, participants were
pressed to give yes/no recognition answers within a very short
time. The results showed that both of these manipulations
disrupted the identifiability effect, indicating that the identify to-reject strategy and theme identifiability play a major role in
the rejection of false memories in the DRM paradigm.
