Reyna, Valerie F.; Brainerd, C. J.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v71 n2 p194-209 Nov 1998

Discusses similarities and differences between fuzzy-trace theory and other approaches to memory falsification. Considers the theory's predictions regarding age differences in memory falsification and attempts to clarify its implications for some important applied questions about truth. (LBT)
