False Memory Research

In recent decades, research has revealed that human memory is prone to error due to its reconstructive nature. This finding has challenged the corpus of knowledge within psychology, and has important implications in theoretical, legal, practical, and clinical settings. Since the very beginning of the ‘memory wars’ in the 1990s, different paradigms have emerged as tools to explore false memory phenomena (e.g., misinformation, DRM, lost-in-the mall, false feedback, crashing memory, among others), both with individuals and groups. False memory research has also benefited greatly from the accelerated advance of neuroscience techniques.

The study of memory distortions is now a fruitful line of research, but despite its great progress it still has many open questions, such as:

• How can we differentiate true from false memories?

• What personal or contextual factors make us susceptible to committing false memories?

• Are we able to avoid –or at least reduce– committing false memories? If so, under what circumstances?

• To what extent do laboratory findings apply to real-world settings?

• To what extent are the results obtained with one procedure generalizable to other paradigms?

• How can we integrate the corpus of cognitive neuroscience findings from false memories?

• What do developmental studies tell us about false memory?

• How does false memory work in all sorts of special populations?

• Are false memories also a collective phenomenon?

• To what extent, if at all, is scientifically appropriate to relate false memory findings to reconsolidation processes?

How we work:

• After submission, an acknowledgement with manuscript number is sent to the corresponding author within 7 working days.
• A 21 day window time frame is allotted for peer-review process wherein multiple experts are contacted.
• Author proof is generated within 7 working days after the acceptance decision.
