Abstract

This study aimed at examining if the original memory remains after a misinformation is presented, using Event-Related Potential based Concealed Information Test (ERP-based CIT). In the first stage of the study, the participant was presented with either the original information or a misleading information after experiencing an event (Post-information). The second stage was to measure brain wave and reaction time on the original, misleading, and irrelevant information (CIT-Stimulus). P300 amplitude, P300 area, P300 latency, and reaction time were used as dependant variables. In the result, a significant Post-information ${\times}$ CIT-Stimulus interaction effect was found on the P300 area measured at Cz, Pz, and Oz area. This interaction effect implied the possibility that the original information could be partially impaired in memory by misleading information presented afterward. P300 amplitude at Pz area did not differ between the accurate and the misleading stimuli in the condition in which a misleading information was presented. This result can be explained by source monitoring error. In discussion, the limitations of this study and directions of future studies were discussed.

본 연구에서는 오정보가 제시된 경우, 원기억의 존재여부를 사건관련전위 기반 숨긴정보검사 (Event-Related Potential based Concealed Information test: ERP-based CIT)를 사용하여 확인하고자 하였다. 오정보 제시 여부를 조작하여 두 가지 실험 조건을 구성한 후 각 조건의 피험자들을 대상으로 뇌파를 측정하여 P300 진폭, 면적 및 잠재기와 반응시간을 분석하였다. 조건별 피험자 수는 각 20명이었고, Cz, Pz와 Oz영역에서 뇌파를 측정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 두 가지로 요약할 수 있다. 첫째, Cz, Pz와 Oz영역의 P300 면적에 대한 분석에서 오정보 제시여부와 자극 종류의 상호작용 효과가 나타났다. 둘째, 오정보 조건에서의 P300 진폭에 대한 분석 결과 Pz영역에서 오정보에 대한 P300 진폭과 무관련 정보에 대한 P300 진폭은 다른 것으로 나타났으나, 원정보에 대한 P300 진폭은 오정보 또는 무관련 정보에 대한 P300 진폭과 다르지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 원기억이 오정보에 대한 기억과 함께 존재할 가능성과 원기억이 부분적으로 손상되었을 가능성을 보여주는 것이라고 할 수 있다. 논의에서는 분석 결과에 대한 세부적인 해석, 본 연구의 단점 및 보완할 수 있는 가능한 방법과 향후 연구의 방향에 대해 논의하였다.
