Monitoring the future: Object and source memory for real and imagined events [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In these two experiments a memory-monitoring decision is made, whereby Ss must decide not only whether or not to-be-learned stimuli will be remembered, but also whether they will be able to assess the source of those stimuli, as assessed by a new measure, Judgement of Source (JOS). In Experiment 1, 40 college students had to judge whether they would remember the occurrence and the source of items that were either seen or imagined. Although seen items were better remembered and sourced than imagined, Ss were unable to predict this outcome: they underestimated their ability to recall seen items and overestimated their ability to recall imagined items. In Exp 2, 32 college students had to discriminate between self-performed or other-performed enacted or imagined events. The authors expected that the motor cues associated with overt performance should provide more sensory information than had the visual input in Exp 1, and this should help Ss to discriminate between real and imagined items. As predicted, judgment of learning magnitude showed that Ss were now able to predict accurately that they would recall more enacted events than imagined events. JOS magnitude showed that Ss incorrectly predicted that self-enactment would assist source memory compared to imagination. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
