A total of 34 different studies were used. The literature was searched in two categories; false memory retrieval and encoding that led to false memories, where all the points on certain conditions had to be met. The criteria set by (Kurkela, & Dennis 2016) included “participants who had done a whole brain analysis, people without mental illness or neuropsychological problems and without influence of pharmaceuticals and the primary methodology was the (fMRI)”. The results show that there was general false retrieval in participants, and that most of the same parts of the brain were responsible for false memories when it came to both pictures and verbal cues. The results also showed that the results for the verbal and visual stimuli were consistent with past studies where people were lured by cues when it came to retrieving information from lists. When it comes to encoding information, people tend to either remember gist information or specific information, but the problems arise when people rely on the former. The study was conclusive with results from several different neural studies that show the various parts of the brain that were responsible for the encoding and retrieval memory process. It showed that false retrieval was supported by the top down cognitive process, which is where a person focuses on the bigger picture before getting into the finer details of things. More (fMRI) types of research should be done to find out more information on this topic, using the same main criteria, but with different
