This study aims to understand the impact levels of label generation have on memory errors. We replicated previous work that showed proximally placed image pairs are more likely to be labeled with category-level labels, and distally placed images are more likely to be labeled with an item-level label. We hypothesized that item-level label generation results in fewer memory errors for images that are thematically and perceptually related to previously viewed images. Results corroborated this hypothesis.
