Detecting memory impairment with a modified test procedure: manipulating retention interval with centrally presented event items
Abstract
We suggest that detecting memory impairment with the modified test relies on long retention intervals that provide the necessary forgetting of event information for impairing effects of postevent misinformation to occur. We tested 288 Ss in four experiments that presented event items centrally, introduced verbal postevent items to a misled condition, and used the modified test, but different by using either short (15 min) or long (5 to 7 days) retention intervals. As evidenced by poorer misled than control test performances, memory impairment only occurred with long retention intervals

Immediate tests following the presentation of inaccurate information are less likely to detect people's susceptibility to misinformation compared to longer time intervals.
“Classical laboratory research on the lasting effect of misinformation in memory confirms that immediate tests following the presentation of inaccurate information are less likely to detect people’s susceptibility to misinformation compared to longer time intervals [20, 21].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
