Hi The standard DRM does NOT use categorically related items, as described in Michael's original message, but rather words that are all associatively related to some critical item (e.g., sleep). Indeed, the occurrence of false memories for categorical lists appears to be much reduced, if not completely absent. See

Dear Michael, This is the classic study using this paradigm which been tabbed the DRM procedure after these two authors and James Deese. Actually, I have argued that it should be called the DRMRS paradim becayse Reid and Solso also originated but this suggestion has not caught on. McKelvie, S. J. (2001).
