Evidence for false memory

How did Roediger and McDermott show evidence for false memory in recognition, using Deese's paradigm? (Hint: focus on Experiment 1, Table 1, and make sure to define all terms, such as 'critical lure' in your own words). Paragraph 2: Roediger and McDermott (1989) found that completing a recall task before a recognition task, elicited higher false memory for the critical lure on the recognition task. How do they explain why this finding occurred? Paragraph 3: How might Roediger and McDermott's (1989) study apply to a real-life situation? Make sure to use an example and explain your reasoning. With respect to categorization, please address the following. Paragraph The Wason Selection Task (WST) has been used as a major task for examining people's deductive reasoning. What is the classical view of categorization? (Make sure to use and to explain the terms individually necessary and jointly sufficient in your definition). Paragraph Illustrate why the classical view could apply to a geometrical square but not to the categorization of gender (Hint: Show how it fails to -objectively" capture either the category 'man" or the category "woman"). Paragraph Define psychological essentialism in your own words (be brief!). Then, use psychological essentialism to explain Prentice and Miller's (2006) finding that in a female-male dyad, telling a woman (out loud) that she is an over-estimator while informing the man (out loud) that he is an under-estimator, resulted in failure to correct one's performance the second time around.
