Paper abstract bibtex Notes that individual differences in the ability to monitor and remember the source of information may have important implications for understanding confusions in eyewitness testimony. This paper investigated whether 'reality monitoring' (distinguishing between memories of internal vs external source) is associated with mental imagery ability. 36 subjects performed a behavioral task of visual imagery and completed a questionnaire of subjective imagery vividness. Reality monitoring was measured with a word list recognition memory task with words presented by the experimenter (external source), words generated by participants themselves (internal) or new words. A significant negative correlation was observed between performance on the behavioral imagery task and source discrimination, but not with recognition memory. The relation of subjective imagery ratings with source discrimination was less clear, although a trend was observed in the same direction. It is concluded that mental imagery ability may be an important variable underlying the confusion of internal and external sources of information.
