False memory in bilingual participants: Using the Deese- Roediger-McDermott paradigm to investigate encoding-retrieval memory
(2019) PSYP01 20182Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- An investigation was undertaken into whether encoding and retrieval language influenced false memory using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. The current study involved eighty-six Chinese-English bilinguals for whom Chinese was their first language and explored participants’ memory performance when English and Chinese replaced each other in encoding and memory retrieval. The results revealed variations of DRM false memory for language changes in encoding-retrieval memory and lower memory accuracy when Chinese was employed as the encoding language. In addition, there existed greater DRM false memory when languages were mismatched in encoding-retrieval memory than whenlanguages were matched. Furthermore, this research supports the... (More)

Furthermore, this research supports the notion that the language ability of the individual participants was irrelevant in relation to the recognition of old items. (Less)
