{{Short description|Psychological technique}}
The '''memory confusion protocol''' is a technique used by [[Social psychology|social psychologists]] to discover whether [[Human subject research|subject]]s are [[Categorization|categorizing]] [[individual]]s into groups and, if so, what characteristics they are using to do so
#Subjects are shown [[photograph]]s of the individuals and are asked to form impressions of them.
#The subjects then see a set of [[Sentence (linguistics)|sentences]], each of which is paired with a photograph of the individual who said it.
#Subjects are not forewarned of the final step, a surprise [[Recollection|recall]] task: the sentences are presented in random order, and the subjects must attribute each to the correct individual.
The subjects' mistakes in the recall task reveal how they categorize the individuals: the subjects are more likely to misattribute A's statement to B if they grouped A and B as members of the same category than if they considered them members of different categories.<ref>{{ cite journal |
