Research on memory, a focal point of numerous disciplines, is extensively documented in the literature, particularly concerning
psychological processes and brain-behavior relationships. Beyond merely observing memory's functionality, it is crucial to
scrutinize the phenomenon of memories that are misremembered or recalled as if they never occurred—processes characterized by
errors, distortions, and reconstructions. Memory illusions involve the acceptance of semantically accurate yet structurally altered,
unreal thoughts as genuine. To study these illusions, the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm—a widely adopted cognitive
framework that conceptualizes memory as a network of nodes and their interconnections—is utilized. This research aims to explore
memory illusions and false memories through the application of DRM lists, examining the intricate relationship between these
phenomena, source memory, and individuals' thinking styles, as well as their implications for chicken consumption within the
context of memory distortion.
