Study Of Learning Disability's False Memories

The existing researches try to reveal the characteristics of LD's (Learning Disability) memoris,the previous researches showed that Learning Disability have defects in long memory, short term memory and working memory. But as one of memory system, LD's false memory was involved just in very few reaearch, this study try to explore false memory of Learning Disability.Generally speaking,if a person state an event not happened is seen wrongly,it is said that the false memory occurs.There are lots of researches at home and abroad proved semantic contact can produce false memories,but research about voice contact were less relatively, and more limited to English.Chinese is different from English in pattern and strcture,but whether it can cause false memory,the domestic researches have had different conclusions.In this study, we try to discover whether Chinese voice contact can produce false memories by experiment 1.Experiment 2 based on experiment 1 is designed to reveal the production of false memoies at different processing depth.Previous studies found that working memoy capacity affects false memory,LD's working memory is weaker than that of normal children, and different type have different working memory deficits.MD(mathematical disabilities) is deficient in verbal working memory, visuospatial, central executive functions. RD(reading disabilities)has verbal working memory deficits while MD's(mathematical disabilities) verbal working memory deficits mainly foucus on breadth of computing problem solving and scope of the shortage of computing terms.This study designs 2 experiments to compare false memories of different types of Learning Disability. The result shows that false memories of LD are higher than control group both in voice and semantic contacts. RD, Doubles are significantly higher than MD and control group; interaction between LD's type and voice contact is not obvious, homophone false memories are significantly higher than consonants, vowels of words and unrelated words;but consonants vowels of words and unrelated words are not differernt significantly. Experiment 2 shows that False memories caused by key words,weak words and unrelated words vary from intensification weakness. The Doubles differ from MD and control group significantly,but not with RD, control group differ from RD and The Doubles significantly,but not with MD.RD's false memory is higher than MD's,but the difference is not significant.There is an interaction betwween LD's types and semantic links .Overall,false memories caused by semantic links are higher than that by homophone links.
