nstructions: For this assignment, you'll try to replicate the DRM paradigm. You will need to recruit 3 people for your experiment (these can be friends, roommates, siblings, significant others, etc.). 1. Here are two DRM lists. Read each word to your participants, after EACH list give them 2 minutes to recall as many words as they can remember (have them write down the words, so you have a record of them). If you do not have a participant, make it on yourself or make something up.

Critcal Lure (DO NOT read this word): Sleep

2. Analyze the data: For each list count how many words they correctly recalled and then count if they recalled the critical lure (sleep and doctor). Use the table below to help you with your data, put a check mark next to each word they recalled. 3. What causes false memories in the DRM paradigm? 4. What is the other false memory paradigm discussed in your textbook/slides?

Participant 1 Doctor List How many words that were on the list did they recall? ______________ Did they recall the critical lure? _______

Sleep List

How many words that were on the list did they recall? ______________ Did they recall the critical lure? _______ Did they recall the critical lure? _______

Participant 2 Doctor List How many words that were on the list did they recall? ______________ Did they recall the critical lure? _______

Sleep List

How many words that were on the list did they recall? ______________ Did they recall the critical lure? _______ Did they recall the critical lure? _______

Participant 3 Doctor List How many words that were on the list did they recall? ______________ Did they recall the critical lure? _______

Sleep List

How many words that were on the list did they recall? ______________ Did they recall the critical lure? _______ Did they recall the critical lure? _______

5. If you were going to conduct an actual experiment examining false memories, what would be your research question(s) and what variables would you manipulate to answer this question? 6. What would your prediction be for your hypothetical experiment in question 5?
