Final answer:
The familiarity effect is associated with Source Monitoring Errors. Source monitoring errors occur when a person is unable to attribute the source of their memory correctly, leading to confusion.
Step-by-step explanation:
The familiarity effect is associated with Source Monitoring Errors. Source monitoring errors occur when a person is unable to attribute the source of their memory correctly, leading to the confusion between internally generated thoughts and externally perceived events. This can result in the person mistakenly attributing a familiar but unrelated source to a memory.
For example, if someone sees a picture of a newscaster and later recalls seeing that person on a TV show, they may have made a source monitoring error, as the memory of seeing the person is attributed to the TV show instead of the original picture.
