The DRM task involves presenting participants with a list of semantically related words (e.g. bed, pillow, rest, nap), but omitting the critical target word (e.g. sleep). When participants are later asked to recall the list, they often include the critical target word even though it was not actually presented. This suggests that participants have formed a false memory of the word based on the semantic relatedness of the other words in the list. Research has shown that older adults are particularly susceptible to forming false memories in this task, likely due to age-related changes in neural processes involved in memory encoding and retrieval.
