This phenomenon is known as imagination inflation, where repetitive imagining of an event leads to increased confidence in its occurrence, even if it did not actually happen. The DRM procedure involves presenting a list of semantically related words to a participant, with the aim to induce false recognition of a non-presented but semantically associated word. The misinformation effect occurs when misleading information is introduced after an event, leading to memory distortion. Reality conflation is the merging of actual and imagined events in memory.
