To find out what makes a list likely to generate a false memory, he and his colleagues used multiple regression analysis to compare 55 lists, some of which they found elicited high rates of false memories and others they found elicited low rates of false memories.
In addition, false memories--the word sleep in our example--appear to be activated by true experiences that are strongly associated with the false memory-as the words in the sleep list are associated with the word sleep.

This detail was included to give the mailing credibility in the eyes of those who received it: if a law firm had pulled this list together to build grassroots support for its tort reform program, then it went without saying a pack of lawyers had properly researched each item and were guaranteeing the information provided.
Speaking about implied credibility, we note that the "outrageous lawsuits" list has made it into the newspapers at times, which only works to add to the perception that the information given in it is reliable.

 David Corn Corrects Victoria Toensing's False Testimony to Congress -- The ITT List
Valerie Wilson was known to friends as an energy analyst for a private firm.

As a lawyer, Toensing is probably aware that knowingly making a false statement to a congressional committee conducting an investigation or review is a federal crime.

In March 1998, a coalition of more than 40 agricultural, grower, religious, and public health organizations (including the sponsors of this report) released the Core Principles, which outlined shared goals pertaining both to reducing smoking among youth and to assisting U.S. growers and their communities.
Today, growers and public health organizations are actively working together in the tobacco states to direct tobacco settlement funds both to reduce tobacco use and to provide transitional aid to growers and tobacco-dependent communities.
The difficulties facing U.S. tobacco growers are great, and their traditional allies, the U.S. cigarette companies, have gone from friend to virtual foe.

And the confusion and darkness experienced by all, and the many false and visionary views entered into by some who were there disappointed, are shown in the parable by the statement: 'While the Bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.' Yea, and in their darkness and slumber many of them dreamed strange, unreasonable things.
