“…They bond relationships, contribute to a sense of identity, and shape current decisions and future planning (Bluck, Alea, Habermas & Rubin, 2005;Brown, Schweickart, & Svob, 2016;Conway & Loveday, 2015;Pillemer, 1998). Memories may also seem eternal, like cherished photographs in an album we peruse from time to time.…”

RUNNING HEAD: Mega-analysis of False Memory Reports… 2 AbstractUnderstanding that suggestive practices can promote false beliefs and false memories for childhood events is important in many settings (e.g., psychotherapeutic, medical, legal). The generalizability of findings from memory implantation studies has been questioned due to variability in estimates across studies. Such variability is partly due to false memories having been operationalized differently across studies and to differences in memory induction techniques. We explored ways of defining false memory based on memory science and developed a reliable coding system that we applied to reports from eight published implantation studies (N=423). Independent raters coded transcripts using seven criteria: accepting the suggestion, elaboration beyond the suggestion, imagery, coherence, emotion, memory statements, and not rejecting the suggestion. Using this scheme, 30.4% of cases were classified as false memories and another 23% wer...

“…With regard to length of total ever quitting, the results are based on responses from a small sub-sample of 7 subjects, of which 6 provided a consistent quitting duration across the two timepoints, the small number of subjects clearly precluding a conclusive reliability assessment. While additional data might provide a better basis for assessing the SQ's reliability with regard to measuring quitting duration, such information appears to constitute memory contents of a type that is either not stored or not retrieved with a high degree of precision (25,26). In order to elicit a reliable record of ever quitting duration, comprehensive interviewing, possibly based on previously established biographic timelines, might be a feasible as well as even a necessary method (27), but this is beyond what can be achieved by a brief questionnaire.…”

SUMMARYThe smoking questionnaire (SQ), a multidimensional questionnaire covering the major dimensions of cigarette smoking, was developed to address the heterogeneity in the assessment of smoking exposure. It consists of eight questions and can be completed within a few minutes. Test-retest reliability of the SQ and concurrent validity with the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 2011 questionnaire were examined in a clinical study conducted in adult US current menthol cigarette smokers. The SQ and the BRFSS were self-administrated twice before and after randomization with a 6-day interval. The inter-temporal analyses included current smokers aged 22 to 66 years who completed the SQ at both timepoints. The percent agreement of items and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for the comparisons between the two timepoints and between the SQ and the BRFSS questionnaire. To evaluate the feasibility of the SQ and to capture subjects' opinions about the SQ, a meta-questionnaire was administrated. High test-retest reliability levels (percent agreement of > 70 to 100% between the two timepoints) were found for SQ smoking behavior items, in particular for items related to current smoking status, 100-cigarettes lifetime, regular smoking, age of initiation and preferred brand. Moderate (55% agreement) to high test-retest reliability (84% agreement) was found for daily consumption of manufactured cigarettes. The comparison between the SQ and the BRFSS 2011 showed a high concurrent validity (98 to 100% agreement). The SQ was completed on average in 3 to 4 min and was assessed as easy to use. The findings demonstrate that the SQ is reliable in smokers and a practical tool to assess smoking exposure in clinical studies. [Beitr. Tabakforsch. Int. 27 (2017) RESUMELe questionnaire sur le tabagisme (SQ), questionnaire multi-dimensionnel couvrant les principales dimensions du tabagisme, a été développé afin de remédier à l'hétéro-généité dans l'évaluation de l'exposition au tabagisme. Il se compose de huit questions et peut être complété en quelques minutes. La fiabilité test-retest du SQ ainsi que la validité concomitante avec le questionnaire du Système de surveillance des facteurs de risque comportementaux (BRFSS) de 2011 ont été examinées dans une étude clinique menée chez des adultes américains, fumeurs de cigarettes au menthol. Le SQ et le BRFSS ont été autoadministrés deux fois, avant et après randomisation, avec un intervalle de 6 jours. Les analyses inter-temporelles comprenaient des fumeurs actuels âgés de 22 à 66 ans qui ont rempli le SQ aux deux points de mesure. La concordance en pourcentage des items et les intervalles de confiance à 95% ont été calculés pour les comparaisons entre les deux points de mesure, ainsi qu'entre le SQ et le BRFSS. Afin d'évaluer la faisabilité du SQ et pour saisir les opinions des sujets sur le SQ, un méta-questionnaire a été administré. Des niveaux élevés de fiabilité test-retest (concordance en pourcentage > 70-100% entre les deux points de mesure) ont été trouvés pour ...

“…Our challenge focuses on the thematic organization that is emphasized in the SMS model, in which the hierarchical structures form partonomies in which linkages or associations are encapsulated within themes (Conway & Loveday, 2015;Conway & Pleydell-Pearce, 2000). The notion of encapsulation is highlighted by the concept of autobiographical memory organization packets (AMOPS), in which hierarchically linked components-from lifetime periods to episodic memories-are only thematically indexed to one another (see Conway & Bekerian, 1987).…”

“…For the past several decades, Conway and colleagues (Conway, 1996;Conway, 2009: Conway & Loveday, 2015Conway & Pleydell-Pearce, 2000) developed the self-memory system (SMS) model of the structure of autobiographical knowledge. In this model, autobiographical knowledge is structured thematically and is organized both hierarchically and temporally.…”
