Modeling False Memories with Conceptual Spaces

Abstract (Swedish)
The most well researched associative memory illusion (AMI) is the Deese–Roediger–McDermott (DRM) paradigm: a list learning task found to induce false memories though study lists with associated words.

Typically, the study lists are composed of the 12—15 most frequent Kent-Rosanoff word-pair associations of a "critical lure". This thesis attempts a different approach to list generation. An online version of a DRM inspired list learning experiment of words with nominal Goodness-of-Example data gathered by Rosch (1975) was conducted (N = 33). A significant effect of typicality on false memories was observed, which fit well with the computational global matching models of memory and the conceptual spaces framework.
