Abstract
Pezdek and Eddy (2001) claim to prove that imagination inflation is a spurious effect caused by regression
to the mean (RTM). They make four predictions about what patterns of data would demonstrate
a genuine effect for imagination versus those that would be explainable by RTM. We review each
of those predictions, and demonstrate significant problems with them. We conclude that imagination
inflation is a genuine effect, and that Pezdek and Eddy’s work has contributed to the growing research
showing that when people imagine fictitious events from long ago, they become more confident that
those false events were genuine experiences.
