Are false memories psi-conducive?

S. J. Blackmore and N.J. Rose (1997) reported an experiment that used false memory creation to generate a significant psi effect. This article reports a series of 3 experiments that attempted to replicate this effect and exam ines the relationship between false memory creation and paranormal belief. Experiment 1 is a faithful replication of the original. Experiment 2 is a c omputerised version involving individual participant trials, but because of a computer error, no psi scores were obtained. Experiment 3 is an improved version of the original, designed to maximise the number of false memories obtained. Experiments I and 3 failed to find a significant psi effect, and all 3 experiments found no relationship between false memory creation and belief in the paranormal.
