Abstract Societal structures and memory organization models share network-like features, offering insights into how information spreads and shapes collective memories. In this study, we manipulated the structure of lab-created community networks during a computer-mediated recall task using the Deese–Roediger–McDermott paradigm to test the spreading activation theory of true and false memory formation. We hypothesized that […]

In this paper, we conduct a series of self-paced reading experiments which show how […]
