Abstract: Most prior studies of false memory focused on sighted rather than blind population. Using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm (DRM), the current study compared false and true memory among blind students in reference to sighted students. Specifically, two experiments examined recognition of word lists via either Braille reading or auditory learning. The results of both experiments demonstrated false memory among blind students which did not significantly differ from that of sighted students. While sighted students did not show different performance under the conditions of screen reading and auditory learning, blind students performed better when engaging in Braille reading, manifested as better correct rejection on unrelated words. Blind students produced better performance on discrimination of learned words and unrelated words under stricter judgement criteria.

Key words: false memory, blind students, true memory, DRM paradigm
