Current theorizing suggests that critical lures in the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) procedure are often falsely remembered because they have received considerable relational processing (e.g., spreading activation or encoding of gist information). We used a repeated-testing paradigm to assess the amount of item-specific and relational processing given to the list items and the critical lures. Research has shown that items receiving item-specific processing are more likely to be recovered across successive tests. They are also output more slowly but more steadily throughout the recall period. In two experiments, we manipulated the processing performed on list items and then used item gains and cumulative recall curves to assess the amount of item-specific an drelational information encoded for both list items and lures. The results suggest that increasing the relational processing of list items increased item-specific processing of lures, whereas increasing item-specific processing of list items decreased item-specific processing of lures. We conclude that critical lures are typically rich in item-specific information, relative to list items.
当前的理论认为，在迪斯/罗迪格-麦克德莫特（DRM）程序中的关键诱饵常常被错误记忆，因为它们接受了大量的关系加工（例如，扩散激活或要点信息的编码）。我们使用重复测试范式来评估给予列表项目和关键诱饵的特定项目加工和关系加工的量。研究表明，接受特定项目加工的项目在连续测试中更有可能被回忆起来。它们在整个回忆期间输出速度也更慢但更稳定。在两项实验中，我们操纵了对列表项目进行的加工，然后使用项目增益和累积回忆曲线来评估为列表项目和诱饵编码的特定项目信息和关系信息的量。结果表明，增加列表项目的关系加工会增加诱饵的特定项目加工，而增加列表项目的特定项目加工会减少诱饵的特定项目加工。我们得出结论，相对于列表项目，关键诱饵通常富含特定项目信息。
