   1 flagged finding: a quote attributed to Dr. Allan Paivio, a real cognitive psychologist who died in 2016, with no verifiable source -- an overly polished restatement of dual coding theory grafted onto his name (a posthumous fabrication pattern, the fourth such case found this session after Mulcahy, Bandura, and Beck).

   Before

   "Dual coding produces memory advantages not because two representations are better than one in some additive sense, but because the connections between verbal and imagistic representations form a richer, more interconnected memory structure. This structure is more resistant to forgetting and more accessible under varying retrieval conditions." -- Dr. Allan Paivio, Department of Psychology, University of Western Ontario

   After

   Dual coding produces memory advantages not because two representations are better than one in some additive sense, but because the connections between verbal and imagistic representations form a richer, more interconnected memory structure. This structure is more resistant to forgetting and more accessible under varying retrieval conditions.

   Why: Removed an unverified quote attributed to Dr. Allan Paivio, a real cognitive psychologist who died in 2016, with no verifiable source (a posthumous fabrication pattern). Converted to unattributed prose; retained the legitimate Paivio references (1971, 1986, and later collaborations) unchanged since they are real, correctly-cited foundational works.
