The assumption that memory is constructed is what led theorists to label memory retrieval in these terms.
What is reconstructive memory?
The theory based on the concept that the way we process information at any moment or the way we act is determined to a very significant extent by relevant previous knowledge stored in our memory and organized in this form.
Loftus showed us how this can implant false memories for an event that never happened.
What is confabulation?
Patterns of behavior that are learned through our interaction with the environment are called this.
The inability for people to always use system 2 is due to the limits of working memory , the limits of long-term memory and the decision-making problem itself. This is what theorists call this.
Loftus and Palmer acknowledged that the varied results in speed estimates may have been a result of this.
A cognitive structure that provides a framework for organizing information about how individuals act with one another is called this.
Loftus and Palmer hypothesized that participants in the ‘smashed’ condition were more likely to answer yes to this question.
This is the effect that explains Loftus's claims that the nature of questions asked by police or in a courtroom can influence witnesses memory.
This holds information and allows it to be passed backwards and forwards between working memory and long-term memory.
Yuille and Cutshall's study show that witness statements were scored independently by three judges, with a variance among scores less than 2%, so the study appears high in this.
