    Misremembering a Common Object: When Left Is Not Right

    Memory & Cognition 1990, 18 (2), 174-182 Misremembering a common object: When left is not right GREGORY V, JONES University of Warwick, Coventry, England Three experiments were carried out to investigate people's memory for British coins. Two prin­ cipal issues were studied. First, it has previously been shown that memory for U.S. pennies and other coins is surprisingly imperfect. How do other countries compare? It turned out that recall ofthe design of British pennies was, if anything, worse even than that of U.S. pennies. The situa­ tion was no better for a larger coin with an unusual shape. It is suggested that individual fea­ tures are poorly remembered if they have low levels of meaningfulness, redundancy, identifi­ ability, and discriminativeness. Second, in addition to this generally weak level of remembering, an instance of systematic misremembering was consistently observed. The Queen's portrait al­ ways faces to the right on British coins. Yet in all three experiments, the proportion ofparticipants who recalled that the portrait faces to the right was so low (overall, 19%)that it was significantly less than even the 50% baseline to be expected from people in a state of complete ignorance. It follows that the participants were not in a state of complete ignorance. Rather, they relied upon extraneous knowledge of either a general or a specificnature (bias and schema hypotheses, respec­ tively), whose importation into this domain was in fact invalid. The resulting belief that coin portraits face left was not right. For over a decade now, much interest has been focused the twenty participants correctly recalled and located all on the role of memory processes in the everyday world eight features.
