Abstract	Presenting lists of semantic associates in long-term memory tasks can induce the false recall of a related (non-presented) critical lure, referred to as the false memory effect (Roediger & McDermott, 1995). Recent findings have suggested that this effect may also extend to the short-term domain using tasks of immediate serial recall (ISR) (Tehan, 2010). Research now shows that short-term memory (STM), as measured by short-term recall tasks is influenced by permanent long-term memory (LTM) networks (Poirier, Dhir, Saint-Aubin, Tehan, & Hampton, 2011). STM and LTM have often been considered distinct systems (e.g. Baddeley, 1983, 2003). In contrast however, some researchers propose that STM and LTM may actually be a part of a unitary system (e.g. Narine, 2002). In immediate recall tasks false memory errors demonstrate this influence of longterm associative networks on STM. The following studies were conducted in order to examine whether the false memory effect would extend to a STM paradigm. Results were discussed with reference to current models of short and long-term memory and the notion of a unitary memory system.
