Abstract: Memory source monitoring has been one of hot topics in memory research in the recent years. The authors review several important issues in this field, including the theoretical framework of memory source monitoring, its implication in studies of eyewitnesses and schizophrenia patients, as well as its neurological mechanism. Further investigations over this issue will provide important experimental evidence for clarifying the nature of memory and the mechanisms of false memory.

Key words: source monitoring, false memory, experimental paradigm, brain mechanisms

摘要： 记忆的源检测研究是当前记忆研究领域中关注的一个热点问题。作者从记忆源检测的理论框架、及其在目击证人、精神分裂症病人研究中的应用、记忆源检测的神经机制3个方面综述了近年来记忆源检测的相关研究成果。记忆源检测的进一步深入研究将为澄清记忆的本质以及错误记忆的产生机制提供重要的实验证据。
