Abstract
We will test how attention (full vs. limited) and emotional arousal (high vs. low IAPS images) influence false recognition in neutral DRM lists. Seventy-eight young adults complete confidence-based recognition, and ROC/AUC sensitivity and bias indices will assess how arousal-biased competition shapes emotional false memories.
