    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The cognitive system readily extracts regularities in terms of\nobject co-occurrences over space and time through statistical\nlearning. However, how does learning such relationships\ninfluence the memory representations of individual objects?\nHere we used a false memory paradigm to examine the impact\nof statistical learning on memory representations of individual\nobjects. Observers were exposed to a temporal sequence\n(Experiment 1) or spatial arrays (Experiment 2) of objects\nwhich contained object pairs (e.g., A-B). In a subsequent\nrecognition phase, observers viewed a sequence or an array\ncontaining only one member of the original pair, and judged\nwhether either the presented object or the missing object in the\noriginal pair was present. We found that statistical learning not\nonly sharpened the detection of the presented object, but also\ninduced a false memory of the missing object. This reveals a\nnovel consequence of statistical learning: learning of\nregularities can create illusory memories.",
