False memories and the DRM paradigm
Several researchers have reported that instructing participants to imagine items using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm lowers false memory rates (Foley, Wozniak, & Gillum, 2006). However, other researchers have found that imagery does not always lower false memory rates (Robin, 2010), and investigators have examined the effects of imagery manipulation on semantic but not phonological lists. In the present study, we presented 102 parti…
Children's Ability to Use Three Standards to Evaluate Their Comprehension of Text
THIS STUDY examined the ability of children in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades to evaluate their comprehension of text using three standards. The authors measured children's ability to detect nonsense words, which requires use of a lexical standard; their ability to detect falsehoods (violations of prior knowledge), which requires a standard of external consistency; and their ability to detect inconsistencies, which requires a standard of int…
Evaluation of comprehension in young and old adults
The role of factual coherence in discourse comprehension∗
The present set of studies investigated the effects of breakdowns in referential and factual coherence on text comprehension. Breakdowns in referential coherence produced by distant antecedent information hindered reading times of texts but not text memory; those produced by absent antecedent information hindered both. Breakdowns in factual coherence hindered reading times of texts and hindered text memory when the comprehension goal of readers w…
