目前的研究探讨了错误的一代对记忆的影响,特别是侧重于动机和惊喜的作用。在两个实验中,参与者首先看到人脸的照片,并被要求将四个事实与每张照片联系起来。在生成试验中,参与者在正确的事实和另外两个正确的事实(研究目标)被揭示之前猜测了两个事实(猜测目标)。在剩下的阅读试验中,所有四个事实都在没有猜测阶段的情况下呈现。在实验1中,参与者还对他们在答案被揭示之前知道答案的动机进行了排名,或者他们对学习真实答案的惊讶。猜测目标随后更好地识别比同时提出的,非猜测的研究目标。猜测目标也比阅读目标更好地识别,学习和阅读目标的识别没有差异。错误的一代也增加了自我报告的动机,但不是惊喜。实验2表明,实验1的结果可以超过20分钟的延迟,并且它们可以推广到更具挑战性的识别测试。总之,这些结果表明,错误的产生可以提高记忆力,特别是对猜测的事实,这可能与学习该事实的动机增加有关。
The current research examined the effects of errorful generation on memory, focusing particularly on the roles of motivation and surprise. In two experiments, participants were first presented with photographs of faces and were asked to associate four facts with each photograph. On Generate trials, the participants guessed two of the facts (Guess targets) before those correct facts, and another two correct facts (Study targets), were revealed. On the remaining Read trials, all four facts were presented without a guessing stage. In Experiment 1, participants also ranked their motivation to know the answers before they were revealed, or their surprise on learning the true answers. Guess targets were subsequently better recognised than the concurrently presented, non-guessed Study targets. Guess targets were also better recognised than Read targets, and recognition of Study and Read targets did not differ. Errorful generation also increased self-reported motivation, but not surprise. Experiment 2 showed that the results of Experiment 1 can outlive a 20-minute delay, and that they generalise to a more challenging recognition test. Together, the results suggest that errorful generation improves memory specifically for the guessed fact, and this may be linked to an increase in motivation to learn that fact.
