{"pk":27250,"title":"Simulating performance in unconscious plagiarism","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Studies of unconscious plagiarism have reported that peoplemistakenly include a partner’s responses when trying to recalltheir own (recall-own task) and include own responses whentrying to recall their partner’s (recall-partner task). In a simula-tion, we tested if participants’ memory performance at test, in-cluding source errors, can be explained by participants simplyguessing items that come easily to mind. We show that guess-ing alone cannot account for the pattern of data participantsshow at test. Modifying the simulation by including memoryfor self-generated items allows us to replicate the pattern of re-sponding in the recall-own but not the recall-partner task, evenwhen we assume that participants in the recall-partner taskstrategically withhold more fluent items from report. This sug-gests that judgements of items’ memory strength alone cannotexplain performance in the unconscious plagiarism paradigm.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"source memory; free recall; unconscious plagia-rism"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/41d294zg","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Nicholas","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lange","name_suffix":"","institution":"Plymouth University","department":""},{"first_name":"Timothy","middle_name":"J.","last_name":"Hollins","name_suffix":"","institution":"Plymouth University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27250/galley/16886/download/"}]}
