Generating lies produces lower memory predictions and higher memory performance than telling the truth: Evidence for a metacognitive illusion
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and CognitionPublished in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, Volume 44, Issue 3, 465-484 Abstract “Manipulations that induce disfluency during encoding generally produce lower memory predictions for the disfluent condition than for the fluent condition. Similar to other manipulations of disfluency, generating lies takes longer and requires more mental effort than does telling the truth; […]
