Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The false memories that Ceci and colleagues elicited in the laboratory particularly affect autobiographical memory, which is the memory system consisting of episodes recollected from an individual's life, based on a combination of episodic (personal experiences and specific objects, people, and events experienced at particular time and place) and semantic (general knowledge and facts about the world) memory. This is because the false memories they created were of events that could have been part of the participants' personal pasts.
