Abstract:
Participants viewed a videotaped crime episode and then engaged in imagination, confabulation, or control activities. Imagination and confabulation caused false memories on immediate and delayed tests (described by signal detection analysis and remember/know judgments). Discriminability (d') decreased and response criteria (B) shifted from the immediate to the delayed test.
