Episode Five: To Misname or be Misnamed (with Dr. Samantha Deffler)


Listen Later

As the U.S. election results pile in, Tolu and Kristina take a break from the news to have a chat with York College of Pennsylvania psychology professor, Dr. Samantha Deffler. They have decided to dedicate November to Cognitive Psychology! Have you ever been misnamed by someone familiar to you? Have you ever been the misnamer? Why is it more likely to mix up the dog's name with other family members than the cat's name? The term of the episode (TOTE) is semantic memory.

Dr. Samantha Deffler’s article:

Deffler, S. A., Fox, C., Ogle, C. M., & Rubin, D. C. (2016). All my children: The roles of semantic category and phonetic similarity in the misnaming of familiar individuals. Memory & cognition, 44(7), 989-999.
