Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm involves presenting a list of related words that are not actually present in the list but are semantically related to the presented words. In this case, the presented words are all related to sleep, and so the subject is likely to recall the word "sleep" even though it is not actually presented in the list. Anger, distrust, and whimsy are not related to the presented words and are therefore less likely to be recalled.
