The present study investigated the influence of image proximity and the specificity of image labeling on false memory production. We hypothesized that when images within a pair are presented close together and therefore more likely to be labeled in superordinate categories, false memories will be greater. Participants were asked to overtly label both proximal and distal image pairs. They then completed a surprise memory test for individual images from the pairs. Results will be discussed.
