Människans minne är extraordinärt i sin förmåga att lagra stora mängder information men är samtidigt sårbart för förvrängningar och fel. Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigmet har i stor utsträckning använts för att undersöka förekomsten av falska minnen. Forskning har visat att deltagare ofta felaktigt identifierar semantiskt relaterade, men ej presenterade ord, så kallade “kritiska lockord” sHuman memory is extraordinary in its ability to retain vast amounts of information, yet it remains fallible, susceptible to distortion and error.
