Abstract (Swedish)
Den här studiens syfte var att undersöka eventuella effekter av interaktioner mellan visuella preferenser (object imagery och spatial imagery) och korrekt eller inkorrekt minnesåterkallning till följd av missledande information. Ett webbaserat experiment i enlighet med misinformation paradigm användes där deltagarna fick se en filmsekvens som skildrade ett brott, läsa antingen en korrekt sammanfattning, inkorrekt sammanfattning med missledande information om beskrivande detaljer (tex färger eller klädesplagg), eller inkorrekt sammanfattning med missledande information om actiondetaljer (tex slag eller kramar). För att bestämma deltagarnas visuella preferens (object eller spatial) förekom i början av experimentet Object-Spatial Imagery... (More)
Den här studiens syfte var att undersöka eventuella effekter av interaktioner mellan visuella preferenser (object imagery och spatial imagery) och korrekt eller inkorrekt minnesåterkallning till följd av missledande information. Ett webbaserat experiment i enlighet med misinformation paradigm användes där deltagarna fick se en filmsekvens som skildrade ett brott, läsa antingen en korrekt sammanfattning, inkorrekt sammanfattning med missledande information om beskrivande detaljer (tex färger eller klädesplagg), eller inkorrekt sammanfattning med missledande information om actiondetaljer (tex slag eller kramar). För att bestämma deltagarnas visuella preferens (object eller spatial) förekom i början av experimentet Object-Spatial Imagery Questionnaire (OSIQ). Resultatet visade att deltagarna i de två missledande betingelserna hade sämre minnesåterkallning av korrekt information än de i kontrollbetingelsen. Däremot fanns ingen skillnad mellan de två missledande betingelserna. Resultaten visade på en misinformation effect, vilket går i linje med tidigare forskning. Den signifikanta huvudeffekten hittades mellan kontrollgruppen och experimentgrupperna (detalj och action). Dock kunde inga signifikanta resultat hittas mellan misinformation effect och imagery, vilket kan bero på en ojämn fördelning av deltagare i de olika grupperna. Imagery och falska minnen är fortsatt ett outforskat område och vidare forskning behövs. Förslag på vidare forskning presenteras. (Less)
Abstract
This study investigated possible effects on interaction between imagery and misinformation on memory accuracy and recall of misinformation. The subjects participated in an online experiment which followed the misinformation paradigm where they watched a film which showed a crime scene, read a summary which either included a correct summary of the film, incorrect summary which had misleading decriptive details (e.g. colours or clothes) or incorrect summury which had misleading action details (e.g. punshes or hugs). To determine their imagery preference (object or spatial) the Object-Spatial Imagery Questionnaire (OSIQ), was also administered at the beginning of the experiment.

This study investigated possible effects on interaction between imagery and misinformation on memory accuracy and recall of misinformation. The subjects participated in an online experiment which followed the misinformation paradigm where they watched a film which showed a crime scene, read a summary which either included a correct summary of the film, incorrect summary which had misleading decriptive details (e.g. colours or clothes) or incorrect summury which had misleading action details (e.g. punshes or hugs). To determine their imagery preference (object or spatial) the Object-Spatial Imagery Questionnaire (OSIQ), was also administered at the beginning of the experiment. The results showed that the participants in both the misinformation conditions had poor memory as compared to the controll condition. However, there was no difference between the two misinformation conditions in therms of accuracy this means that we found a misinformation effect, which is consistent which is consistent with previous research. The significant main effect was found between the control group and the experimental groups (detail and action). However no significant results were found between misinformation effect and imagery, this can be explained by the uneven distribution of the subject in the different groups. Imagery in relation to false memories is still a rather unexplored topic. More research is needed and suggestions on further research is presented. (Less)
