Document Summary
Intrusion error: a memory error in which one recalls elements that were not part of the original episode. The drm procedure: a person sees or hears a list of words that are all related to a single theme; however, the word that makes the them (i. e. , sleep) is not itself included. People are very likely to remember later that the theme word was presented. Yields a large number of memory errors, even if participants are put on their guard before the procedure begins. Schema: knowledge describing what is typical or frequent in a particular situation. Schematic knowledge helps you guiding your understanding and enabling you to reconstruct things you cannot remember. Schematic knowledge can also hurt you promoting errors in perception and memory. If there are thing you don"t notice while viewing a situation or event, your schemata will lead you to fill in the gaps with knowledge about what"s normally in place in that setting.
