Standard Paradigm
• Brown & Murphy (1989):– Semantic category examplar generation– Recall after a delay followed by generate-new
phase– Higher plagiariasm than intrusion rates– Plagiarism rates above chance
Brown, A. S., & Murphy, D. R. (1989). Cryptomnesia: Delineating inadvertent plagiarism. Journal of Experimental Psychology:
Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 15(3), 432–442.

Extended paradigm and delay
• Plagiarism rates increase with delay• More ideas are given away than plagiarised• Effects not as pronounced with joint-source
recall
Source misattribution bias is not exclusively self-servingIn fact it appears to be more self-defeating
Extended paradigm and delay
• Background– Macrae, Bodenhausen and Calvini (1999)
– Higher rates of plagiarism with female/female vs
female/male pairs

task
• More ideas are given away than plagiarised• Wrong-source error rates increase with high
similarity• Recall partner task drives similarity effect
– vs. Macrae, Bodenhausen & Calvini (forced recall? between vs within factor?)
• Joint source recall does not show an effect of source similarity
Extended paradigm and source similarity
• …and unconscious anti-plagiarism• -> wrong-source errors / source
misattributions• Increase with delay and source similarity• also with increased typicality of items,
increased similarity of items and instruction to output liberally
Unconscious plagiarism?
