In the present study, participants were shown items with their own name, the name of a closely known other, an unknown other, or alone. Then, they were asked to recognise the items and the reference conditions. The results showed that the items paired with oneself and a closely known other lead to higher true recognition scores compared to other two conditions. Moreover, the source of the items in the self and the close other-reference conditions were more likely to be attributed to the correct sources than the latter two. However, the self and the close other-referenced items increased false recognition and source misattribution scores. The findings indicate that referencing the self and close others may lead to memory illusions via distorting source monitoring abilities. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.en10.1080/20445911.2021.1977816info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessclose other-referencefalse recognitionself-referencesource monitoringadultArticlecomparative studycontrolled studyfalse memoryfeedback systemfemalefollow uphumaninternal validitymalememorynormal humanquestionnairerecognitionundergraduate studentArticle338823836Q4WOS:0006950577000012-s2.0-85114802615Q3
