Abstract
In two experiments, we investigated semantic and recognition memory for ubiquitous movie quotes, as a function of confidence and perceived information source. Most participants chose ubiquitous, but false quotes with high confidence, indicating they experienced the original source, with minimal improvement when tested for recognition after viewing the original source.
