Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ceci and colleagues' study specifically targeted autobiographical memories or memories of personal experiences and events. The false memories that were elicited in the study involved giving participants false information about events that may have occurred in their past, leading them to mistakenly believe that these events had actually happened to them. The study did not address short-term memory, semantic memory, or procedural memory.
