Following exposure to experimenter-provided examples of space creatures, people tend to conform to the features contained in the examples when creating their own novel space creatures. In three experiments, we manipulated factors known to affect source-monitoring accuracy to determine how these manipulations would influence conformity to experimenter-provided examples. In Experiment 1 we altered people's cognitive agenda by means of the instructions given before the drawing task. In Experiment 2 we examined how time pressure would affect the level of conformity, and in Experiment 3 we manipulated the availability of the creatures during the drawing task by making them available to half the participants. Conformity decreased when extended source-monitoring processes were engaged and increased when these processes were disrupted. The results from the three experiments were consistent with the principles of the source-monitoring framework.
在接触了实验者提供的太空生物示例后，人们在创造自己的新型太空生物时往往会遵循示例中包含的特征。在三项实验中，我们操纵了已知会影响源监测准确性的因素，以确定这些操纵将如何影响对实验者提供的示例的遵循程度。在实验1中，我们通过绘画任务前给出的指示改变了人们的认知议程。在实验2中，我们研究了时间压力如何影响遵循程度，在实验3中，我们通过让一半参与者能够看到这些生物，操纵了绘画任务期间生物的可得性。当进行扩展的源监测过程时，遵循程度降低；当这些过程被打乱时，遵循程度增加。这三项实验的结果与源监测框架的原则一致。
