Some theorists have suggested that, like item memory, source memory should be better for self-
generated information. This sis referred to as a positive generation effect for source. The common explanation
for the generation effect is that the cognitive operations involved in generating items enhances the encoding
of semantic, item-specific, or relational aspects of the stimulus, which results in superior memory for those
items over nongenerated items. It seems logical to speculate that this superior encoding enhances the
source memory for an item in addition to memory for the item itself. In contrast, other researchers have
proposed that source memory should be worse for self-generated than for externally generated information; in
other words, a negative generation effect for source. One possible explanation is that the extra cognitive
operations involved with self-generated items tend to draw mental resources away from the processing of
other information, such as the context or source of the items.
