Three experiments investigated the malleability of perceived plausibility and subjective likelihood occurrence plausible implausible events among participants who had no recollection experiencing them. In Experiment 1, a plausibility-enhancing manipulation (reading accounts events) combined with personalized suggestion increased event, as well participants' ratings that they experienced it. Plausibility were uncorrelated. Subsequent studies showed alone was sufficient to increase but only if...
Abstract Investigations of the recovery and falsification childhood memories have used one construct in lieu another. Autobiographical typically not been distinguished from autobiographical beliefs, researchers assumed that plausibility schematic knowledge measure identical constructs. We tested hypothesis plausibility, belief, memory are nested constructs, such implies belief plausibility. Six hundred eighty five students answered questions about these constructs relation to ten possible...
This article summarizes key advances in hypnosis research during the past two decades, including (i) clinical supporting efficacy of for managing a number symptoms and conditions, (ii) role various divisions anterior cingulate prefrontal cortices hypnotic responding, (iii) an emerging finding that high suggestibility is associated with atypical brain connectivity profiles. Key recommendations agenda next decade include laboratory researchers should strongly consider how they assess their...
Five experiments were conducted to explore the effect of task constraints on memorability ratings and study time allocation strategies examine conditions under which an item labor-in-vain is found (i.e., items studied for a long are not recalled equally or better than short time). Results show that strategy was influenced by outcome previous memory test (Experiment 1), final 4), total available 5). None these manipulations eliminated effect, due subjects' inability manage 3) disappeared only...
This is the first empirical study of vivid autobiographical memories for events that people no longer believe happened to them. Until now, this phenomenon has been object relatively rare, albeit intriguing, anecdotes, such as Jean Piaget’s description his memory an attempted abduction never happened. The results our show nonbelieved are much more common than expected. Approximately 20% initial sample reported having at least one memory. Participants’ ratings indicate share most recollective...
This article examines the idea that believing events occurred in past is a non-memorial decision reflects underlying processes are distinct from recollecting events.Research on autobiographical memory has often focused both believed to have and remembered, thus tending overlook distinction between belief recollection.Studying event representations such as false memories, believed-not-remembered events, non-believed memories shows influence of evaluations occurrence.Believing an may be more...
In the present study we examined whether higher levels of object imagery, a stable characteristic that reflects ability and preference in generating pictorial mental images objects, facilitate involuntary voluntary retrieval autobiographical memories (ABMs). Individuals with high (High-OI) low (Low-OI) imagery were asked to perform an ABM task laboratory. Results showed High-OI participants generated more ABMs than Low-OI, faster times. also reported detailed compared Low-OI retrieved as...
In this article, we review the state of knowledge about a previously-assumed-to-be-rare memory phenomenon called nonbelieved memories. Nonbelieved memories are counterintuitive in which vivid autobiographical no longer believed to have happened even though recollective features remain present. Such stand contrast more typical situation that when events recollected they also genuinely occurred. We data on frequency, characteristics, and factors contribute development naturally occurring...
Smartphone misuse, also known as Nomophobia is the fear of not being able to consult your own mobile phone, connected or traceable. During Italian lockdown caused by COVID-19, while use technology was fundamental basis adaptation for smart working, school and professional training, leading a change in population's lifestyle, smartphone dependency impaired social relationships. To date, impact men women unclear. We conducted this study with hypothesis that period fosters growth pathological...
The authors investigated the theoretical question of whether different kinds encoding can affect judgments learning (JOLs) beyond any indirect effects arising from differences those produce on likelihood recall. They found that JOLs were more accurate after by means intentional than incidental learning, even when recall did not differ for (Experiment 1), and occurred generating responses reading 2). An aggregation effect was also discovered: Making about an aggregate items yielded less...
Background: Expectancy and modeling have been cited as factors in mass psychogenic illness (MPI), which reportedly affects more women than men. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to assess effects expectancy a controlled laboratory analogue MPI. Methods: Students were randomly assigned inhale or not an inert placebo described suspected environmental toxin that had linked four symptoms typical reported instances Half students observed female confederate substance subsequently display...
A recent study showed that many people spontaneously report vivid memories of events they do not believe to have occurred [1]. In the present experiment we tested for first time whether, after powerful false been created, debriefing might leave behind nonbelieved fake events. Session 1 participants imitated simple actions, and in 2 saw doctored video-recordings containing clips falsely suggested had performed additional (fake) actions. As earlier studies, this procedure created memories. 3,...
Recent studies have shown that involuntary autobiographical memories (IAMs) can be elicited in the laboratory. Here we assessed whether specific instructions given to participants change nature of IAMs reported, terms both their frequency and characteristics. People were either made or not aware aim study was examine IAMs. They reported mental contents whenever they became them following a predetermined schedule. Both making people fixed schedule interruptions increased significantly number...
