Methods: This causal-comparative study recruited 20 patients suffering from PTSD according to the DSMIV-TR criteria, and 20 non-PTSD subjects who involved in the same trauma of PTSD as well as 20 normal subjects who were matched for age, sex, and socio-economic status. The instruments included Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Impact of Event Scale, WIAS (short version), plus the Visual and Verbal False Memory Tasks prepared according to Deese-Roediger- McDermott’s (DRM) paradigm. Obtained data were analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s post-hoc test. Results: Our findings indicated that PTSD patients produced more false memories (both verbal and visual) than non-PTSD and healthy control subjects in both tasks. Conclusion: Such findings are interpretable within the framework of the cognitive theories of PTSD and other memory deficits of PTSD patients.
