Evaluating Characteristics of False Memories Remember/Know Judgments and Memory Characteristics Questionnaire Compared (original) (raw)

The paper examines the differentiation between true and false memories and the characteristics that distinguish them, using the remember/know judgments and the Memory Characteristics Questionnaire (MCQ). It explores how confidence in memories may not accurately reflect their truthfulness and evaluates the qualitative features of both true and false memories through various experimental frameworks. The findings suggest that both true and false memories share similarities, raising questions about the criteria we use to assess memory accuracy.
