Two experiments were conducted to examine whether children of different ages differ in their ability to reject associative false memories with the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. Two different types of manipulations that are thought to facilitate false memory rejection in adults-slowing the presentation rate and issuing explicit warnings-were analyzed in younger and older children. The results showed that older children were more able than younger children to reject associative false memories through warnings and by slowing the presentation rate. We conclude that although older children are, in general, more prone to produce false memories with the DRM paradigm, they are also more able to reject them when certain conditions facilitate the editing process.
两项实验旨在检验不同年龄段的儿童在使用 Deese-Roediger-McDermott（DRM）范式拒绝联想性虚假记忆的能力上是否存在差异。本研究分析了在年幼和年长儿童中两种被认为有助于成人拒绝虚假记忆的不同操作方式——降低呈现速度和明确警告。结果表明，通过警告和降低呈现速度，年长儿童比年幼儿童更能拒绝联想性虚假记忆。我们的结论是，尽管年长儿童通常更容易在 DRM 范式中产生虚假记忆，但当某些条件有利于编辑过程时，他们也更能够拒绝这些记忆。
