Reality Monitoring Task Design. (A) Encoding Task: Participants were given matched semantically constrained sentences in which the final word was either left blank for participants to generate and vocalize themselves (e.g., The stove provided the) or was externally-derived as it was provided by the experimenter for subjects to vocalize (e.g., The sailor sailed the sea). (B) Retrieval Task: Participants were randomly presented with the noun pairs from the sentences (e.g., stove-heat), and had to identify with a button-press whether the second word was previously self-generated or externally-derived.
