Abstract

Emotion can increase true memory and decrease false memory in DRM paradigm. The directed-forgetting instruction generates lower true memory and higher false memory rates. The present study was designed to investigate how emotion and directed-forgetting instruction had influence on true and false memories in DRM paradigm. Two experiments with the directed-forgetting procedures were conducted. In experiment 1, the list-method procedure was used for the directed-forgetting. The results showed that false memory rates with emotional lists were lower than neutral lists in remember condition, however, in forget condition, false memory increased with emotional lists. In experiment 2, the item-method procedure was used for the instruction. Just as a result of experiment 1, the reduction of false memory appeared only in the remember condition. The results of two experiments indicated that emotion had an effect on the decline of false memory and the directed-forgetting instruction attenuated this effect. The theoretical implication of results was discussed by activation/monitoring theory.
