Several studies reveal that disgust has a memory advantage. This advantage occurs when disgust stimuli are compared with neutral stimuli as well as fear stimuli. Since disgust and fear are both avoidance-oriented and negative emotions, the memory difference between these two emotions became important in the literature. Although disgust and fear were compared in different memory procedures, the comparison between them was not studied in the DRM paradigm for false memory. In the current experiment, 71 (40 female; 31 male) university students participated the study. A total of 10 DRM lists (five for each) with 10 words were developed and presented to the participants via PsychoPy. In the development of the lists, the Turkish version of Affective Norms for English Words was used. Participants went through a classical DRM experiment with immediate recognition. A 2(emotion: disgust, fear) x 3(word type: critical lure, old words, new words) two factor repeated measures analysis of variance conducted. The significant main effect for emotion and word type as well as the interaction of emotion and word type was found (p < .05). Paired samples t-test was conducted to compare the groups. There was a significant difference between disgust and fear in all word types. Participants demonstrated lower false memory and better memory performance on disgust. In the light of the findings, it can be stated that disgust has a memory advantage over fear in false memory. These results give evidence for the notion that disgust memory bias is a pervasive phenomenon.
