Two experiments were conducted to investigate the relatedness effects in remembering different
spatial social information. Experiment 1 found that there are relatedness effects in remembering
social information and there is no difference between genders. Experiment 2 found that: (1) under
the condition of different spatial social information, the difference of memory rates was significant,
the superordinate-orientated relatedness effects were not different significantly, the
hyponym-orientated relatedness effects were different significantly and, (2) under the condition of
different ages, the memory rates were different significantly, the superordinate-orientated
relatedness effects were not different significantly either, the hyponym-orientated relatedness
effects were different significantly.
1063.155Modeling false recognition using minerva 2, Jerome Rodrigues, Marc-Michel Corsini,

France
False Recognitions are defined as erroneous recognition of non-previously-presented items. The
aim of our study was to simulate this phenomenon by using a formal memory model called
Minerva 2. After implementing the classical paradigm used for false recognitions studies, all the
typical effects (list effect, association effect, decision criteria effect, etc.) are well-simulated by the
model. In consequence, Minerva 2 seems to offer a pertinent modeling of false recognitions and
provide furthermore, by his emergent functioning, potential explanations of this memory
phenomenon.
1063.156 Recognition of facial expressions: Comparing false postives with misses, Ying Tang 1 ,
Muneyuki Mizutani 2 , Masaaki Yamamoto 2 , 1 Beijiao highschool, China; 2 Kyoto University of
Education, Japan
This study investigated two types of errors in the recognition of four facial expressions; smile,
anger, surprise, and ordinary straight face. The stimuli were composed of 80 color face photos of
20 male and female students which were used as targets and distractors for 30 male and female
subjects. Each of 40 photos was presented for 5 seconds successively, and after 5 minutes'
intermission the recognition was tested for 80 stimuli. The results indicated that the number of
false positives are significantly more than misses in smile and straight face, and reverse in
surprise.
1063.157 Effects of cognitive load at encoding and at retrieval on false memories, Micha Park,
Yonsei University, Republic Of Korea
Two experiments examined the effects of cognitive load on correct and false memories. The
results showed that cognitive load at encoding reduced correct recall and recognition of the
studied words but increased false recall and recognition of unstudied critical words. In contrast,
cognitive load at retrieval did not have any effect on correct and false recognition. However,
cognitive load at retrieval increased false alarms of unstudied words whereas cognitive load at
encoding did not affect false alarms. These results suggest that multiple underlying processes exert
influences on false memory.
