The sample of this study consisted of 30 children of preschool stage from Bane Obaid educational directorate, Jordan which was equally divided randomly into experimental and control groups.The Deese-Roediger- McDermott (DRM) was used to measure false memory level. A meta-memory training program was developed also and applied after establishing its validity and reliability over 8 weeks with 2 sessions per week. The results showed that the preschool children had a high level of false memory, and that a statically significant decrease (p. = 0.05) in the mean of false memory scores of the experimental group in comparison with the control group on the post and the follow up tests.
