This study investigated the development of false memories for basic and superordinate names using the
DRM procedure. Two experiments were conducted with younger (3 5 years old) and older (10 12 years
old) children. In the first experiment the DRM procedure was used with categorised lists and in the
second experiment both types of lists*categorised and associative*were applied. False recognition for
basic and superordinate names showed opposite developmental trends, regardless of list type. False
recognition increased for critical-basic items and decreased for critical-superordinate items with age.
These opposing results are mainly explained by age differences in conceptual knowledge and editing
processes.
