A mega-analysis of memory reports from eight peer-reviewed false memory implantation studies
Scoboria, Wade, Lindsay, Azad, Strange, Ost and Hyman, Memory 25(2), 2017 (online 2016), 146-163. Eight published implantation studies, N = 423, seven coding criteria. 30.4 percent classified as false memories, another 23 percent as accepting the event to some degree. With self-relevant information, an imagination procedure and no photo, the memory formation rate was 46.1 percent. Authors call it the most valid estimate within the implantation literature to date.
