Abstract

This study examined the relationships between susceptibility to imagination inflation in two paradigms (imaging childhood life events and imagining simple actions performed in the lab) and working memory capacity. The magnitude of imagination inflation was not significantly correlated across the two paradigms and neither was related to working memory capacity.
