Please identify and justify one critical word that has a high level of semantic association that you believe would lead to low levels of false memory, and one list with the opposite characteristic (i.e., a critical list that has a low level of semantic association but would lead to a high level of false memory).
It has been found that there is a high level of variability in the amount of false memory that different lists elicit that seem independent of semantic association. For example, the lists for doctor and king have similar levels of semantic association between studied and critical words, but there are much higher levels of false memory for doctor compared to king, suggesting that there are other factors at play in determining levels of false memory. Please identify and justify one critical word that has a high level of semantic association that you believe would lead to low levels of false memory, and one list with the opposite characteristic (i.e., a critical list that has a low level of semantic association but would lead to a high level of false memory).
