Inhaltsangabe

Memory is subject to a range of distortions. Butmechanisms thatprotect memory against distortion also exist. Thisbook focuses onrecall-to-reject, one of the central memory editingmechanismsthought to prevent the occurrence of false memories.Recall-to-reject occurs when recall of a studied item is usedto correctly rejectan associated distractor despite its highfamiliarity. The theoreticalpart of this dissertation gives an overview of memoryeditingmechanisms and reviews experimental research on therecall-to-reject process. In the empirical part a series offour experiments isreported, where the ability of category cues toincrease theprobability of the recall-to-reject process isinvestigated.Furthermore, moderating factors for the effectivenessof recall-to-reject are investigated. Overall, the results provideevidence forrecall-to-reject and demonstrate its potential toreduce falserecognition errors. Theoretical, methodological, aswell as practical,implications are discussed. This book is recommendedto peopleinterested in experimental memory research.
