Abstract
Participants learned unique locations for words that produce false memories in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm prior to centrally viewing words related to half of the Phase 1 words. Spatial memory of Phase 1 words was worse for words whose associates appeared in Phase 2, suggesting that semantic material caused retroactive interference.
