Question

Two experiments (modeled after J. Deese's 1959 study) revealed remarkable levels of false recall and false recognition in a list learning paradigm. In Experiment 1, subjects studied lists of 12 words (e.g., bed, rest, awake); each list was composed of associates of 1 nonpresented word (e.g., sleep). On immediate free recall tests, the nonpresented associates were recalled 40% of the time and were later recognized with high confidence. In Experiment 2, a false recall rate of 55% was obtained with an expanded set of lists, and on a later recognition test, subjects produced false alarms to these items at a rate comparable to the hit rate. The act of recall enhanced later remembering of both studied and nonstudied material. The results reveal a powerful illusion of memory: People remember events that never happened.

(Question) The abstract is a concise summary of the whole article and appears ath the beggining of the article. It contains key information about the research study such as the purpose/aim of the study, the research hypotheses, results and some concluding statements about the implication of the results. On a 5 point scale ranging from 1- poor and 5 - excellent, how would you rate the abstract of this article 100 words) provide reason for your rating

Explanation / Answer

On a 5 point memory index scale for memory recognition since childhood, 1- point is given for no memory recollection of childhood memory, 2--is given for a very silght memory recognition of false and real behavior, 3 point is given for brief memory recognition of behavior and events in childhood and past ,4 point is given for a detailed recollection of events and memory from the past, 5 point recollection--is given for a complete memory analysis and recollection of every event in childhood with complete explanation and details of events in the past.

The rating for this article can be given as between 4.5-5.0 as it gives a detail analysis of the survey of a group of people with their remembrance for words like sleeping, wake, lazy, tired, alert with development of new words in the memory based on past experiances and recollection of events. Further analysis was done for false memory recognition and real memory recognition of people with bad experiances in childhood like marital rape, murder, conviction, stealing, theft and other acts of childhood labor and forced indulgence in bad activities and habits like smoking, drugs addiction. Many of the people had a faint recollection of their bad memories from their childhood and did not wish to share them whereas when the survey was done for good memories from childhood like birthday celebration, friendship day celebration, loving day celebration, and marriage anniversary celebration, revealed no false imagination and recollection on the behalf of people and almost all the people had full recollection of events from past and childhood.
