四个实验考察了社会对错误记忆发展的影响。我们采用了社会传染范式：一名受试者和一名邦联成员看到场景，然后轮流回忆场景中的物品，邦联成员错误地报告了一些场景中没有的物品；在最后一项测试中，受试者在被指示只回忆场景中的物品时报告了这些建议的物品。前两个实验表明，当受试者被明确警告同盟者的反应可能会引发错误记忆时，以及当他们通过来源监控测试进行测试时，社交传染效应持续存在，这些测试明确地给出了将建议的物品归因于另一个人的选择。错误回忆和再认的水平随着误导性信息被提出的次数的增加而增加(实验3)，与模拟的邦联相比，被试更有可能在再认/来源测试中纳入实际邦联的错误反应(实验4)。总的来说，这些数据支持错误记忆可能在人与人之间传播的说法，并揭示了调节记忆社会传染的关键因素。
Four experiments examined social influence on the development of false memories. We employed the social contagion paradigm: A subject and a confederate see scenes and then later take turns recalling items from the scenes, with the confederate erroneously reporting some items that were not present in the scenes; on a final test, the subject reports these suggested items when instructed to recall only items from the scenes. The first two experiments showed that the social contagion effect persisted when subjects were explicitly warned about the possibility that confederates' responses might induce false memories and when they were tested via source-monitoring tests that explicitly gave the choice of attributing suggested items to the other person. Levels of false recall and recognition increased with the number of times the misleading information was suggested (Experiment 3), and subjects were more likely to incorporate the erroneous responses of an actual confederate on a recognition/source test as compared with those of a simulated confederate (Experiment 4). Collectively, the data support the claim that false memories may be transmitted between people and reveal critical factors that modulate the social contagion of memories.
