Abstract

This research examined whether elaboration type (conceptual and perceptual) and elaboration repetition affected the tendency to create false memories. A randomized 3 × 2 mixed factorial design was used to conduct the experiment on 71 Universitas Indonesia's undergraduate participants. The elaboration type was grouped using a between-subjects design, and the repeated elaboration (0-time repetition, 3 times repetition) was grouped using a within-subjects design. The participants, who were randomly assigned to two experimental groups (conceptual elaboration and perceptual elaboration) and one control group (no elaboration) were asked to watch a five-minute video and complete two questionnaires. Significant differences were found in the false memory scores as an effect of elaboration type, but not for elaboration repetition. This study's results can contribute to court applications and clinical psychology fields wherever a risk of false memory exists.
