This illustrates the false memory construction of memory, as participants recalled a word that was not in the original study list but was likely activated in their memory through related associations. This is a common phenomenon in memory recall and highlights the malleability of memory. However, it does not suggest that memory can never be trusted or that college student memories are poor, and it does not necessarily indicate a specific approach to memory errors.
