Examining the impact of warnings on eyewitness memory Open
Prior research demonstrates that eyewitness memory is susceptible to misinformation. Specifically, memory for an original event can be contaminated by post-event information. Recently, we found that susceptibility to misinformation is redu…

Timing of pre-retrieval warnings matters in reducing memory errors in a repeated testing misinformation study Open
Individuals are often exposed to information regarding previously witnessed events. The misinformation effect occurs when inaccurate post-event information impairs accuracy on a subsequent test of memory for the original event. The misinfo…

Sharing photographs on social media enhances recollection of photograph-related details Open
The ubiquity of social media platforms allows individuals to easily share and curate their personal lives with friends, family, and the world. The selective nature of sharing one’s personal life may reinforce the memories and details of th…

Intrinsic functional connectivity in medial temporal lobe networks is associated with susceptibility to misinformation Open
Memory is notoriously fallible and susceptible to misinformation. Yet little is known about the underlying cognitive and neural mechanisms that render individuals vulnerable to this type of false memory. The current experiments take an ind…

Protecting memory from misinformation: Warnings modulate cortical reinstatement during memory retrieval Open
Significance Exposure to misleading information can distort memory for past events (misinformation effect). Here, we show that providing individuals with a simple warning about the threat of misinformation significantly reduces the misinfo…

False memories for shape activate the lateral occipital complex Open
Previous functional magnetic resonance imaging evidence has shown that false memories arise from higher-level conscious processing regions rather than lower-level sensory processing regions. In the present study, we assessed whether the la…

The Anterior Prefrontal Cortex and the Hippocampus Are Negatively Correlated during False Memories Open
False memories commonly activate the anterior/dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (A/DLPFC) and the hippocampus. These regions are assumed to work in concert during false memories, which would predict a positive correlation between the magnitud…

Spatial Memory Activity Distributions Indicate the Hippocampus Operates in a Continuous Manner Open
There is a long-standing debate as to whether recollection is a continuous/graded process or a threshold/all-or-none process. In the current spatial memory functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, we examined the hippocampal act…
