en Creating False Memories with Phonologically-related Words under Focused and Divided Attention Conditions تخصصي Special پژوهشي اصیل Research <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma;"><span dir="LTR">Three experiments investigated the possibility of creating false memories using lists of phonologically-related Farsi words and under conditions of focused and divided attention(at retrieval).&nbsp; In Experiments 1 and 2 with normal children and adults as participants, considerable rates of false recall and false recognition were observed under both&nbsp; focused and divided attention conditions.&nbsp; In Experiment 3 with 12 amnesic elderly participants, false memories were low under focused and moderate under divided attention. The results indicate that&nbsp; phonologically associated words like semantically associated ones may lead to false memories. The findings are discussed in terms of the activation models.&nbsp; </span></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:tahoma;"><span dir="LTR">Three experiments investigated the possibility of creating false memories using lists of phonologically-related Farsi words and under conditions of focused and divided attention(at retrieval).&nbsp; In Experiments 1 and 2 with normal children and adults as participants, considerable rates of false recall and false recognition were observed under both&nbsp; focused and divided attention conditions.&nbsp; In Experiment 3 with 12 amnesic elderly participants, false memories were low under focused and moderate under divided attention.
