Abstract
SummaryWe proposed an autobiographical elaboration to Deese–Roediger–McDermott (DRM) materials to explore the content (Experiments 1 and 2) and processes giving form (Experiment 3) to lure activations. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants generated plausible hypothetical events or memories of past events cued by DRM items. Results suggested increased lure recognition following memory generation. Lures experienced implicitly within memories were more susceptible to false recognition, and content analysis further suggested increased temporal details and self‐referential remarks within memory descriptions. In Experiment 3, we manipulated encoding processes giving rise to lures in memory descriptions by manipulating imagery instructions. Results suggested increased lure recognition following guided imagery, particularly for lures experienced explicitly. Our results suggest that lure activations are affected by the nature of the associated content as well as processes mediating their explicit experience during encoding and test. Our findings have implications for debates about best practices of guided imagery techniques. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
