The aim of the present research was to determine whether different level of awareness about false memories influence their inducement. For the purpose of this study, it was necessary to construct a Croatian version of the Desee-Roediger-McDermott paradigm, which includes 9 word lists and a recognition test. In the pilot study 105 participants were involved in creating the word list stimuli. In the study, 201 participants were split in three experimental groups based on the different level of awareness about the inducement of the false memory effect: the control group (uninformed), partially informed and forewarned group. There were 9 word lists, each list contained 15 words, and one recognition test which contained 56 words. The results confirmed the hypothesis that there are differences in the inducement of false memories considering different level of awareness about inducing the false memory effect. Compared with the uninformed and partially informed subjects, the forewarned subjects had a reduced level of false recognition of critical lures. Furthermore, the results confirmed the third hypothesis that there are no gender differences in inducement of false memories using the DRM paradigm. Second hypothesis, that there would be differences among groups in accurate recognition of words which appeared in the list, was not confirmed.
