Abstract

Our article ‘Lost in the mall? Interrogating judgements of false memory’ (Andrews and Brewin 2024) was the first to reanalyse transcripts from the false memory implantation paradigm and throw light on the nature of investigator-based judgements of false memory. Commentaries on our report include several misrepresentations of what we did as well as some misconceptions about our methods, results, and conclusions. After addressing these, we discuss persistent concerns about the reliability, validity and generalisability of the paradigm and about the tendency for the results of false memory research to be exaggerated. These exaggerations sometimes later appear in expert witness reports and influence court deliberations.

关于错误记忆植入范式的主要担忧仍然存在

我们的文章《在商场迷路？》《错误记忆的审问判断》（Andrews and Brewin 2024）首次重新分析了错误记忆植入范式的转录本，并阐明了基于调查者的错误记忆判断的本质。对我们报告的评论包括对我们所做的一些错误陈述，以及对我们的方法、结果和结论的一些误解。在解决这些问题之后，我们讨论了对范式的可靠性、有效性和普遍性的持续关注，以及错误记忆研究结果被夸大的趋势。这些夸大有时后来出现在专家证人报告中，并影响法庭审议。

期刊介绍： Applied Cognitive Psychology seeks to publish the best papers dealing with psychological analyses of memory, learning, thinking, problem solving, language, and consciousness as they occur in the real world. Applied Cognitive Psychology will publish papers on a wide variety of issues and from diverse theoretical perspectives. The journal focuses on studies of human performance and basic cognitive skills in everyday environments including, but not restricted to, studies of eyewitness memory, autobiographical memory, spatial cognition, skill training, expertise and skilled behaviour. Articles will normally combine realistic investigations of real world events with appropriate theoretical analyses and proper appraisal of practical implications.
