Document Summary
As your memory for an episode becomes more and more interwoven with other thoughts you"ve had about the episode, it becomes difficult to keep track of which elements are linked to the actual episode. Transplant errors : when a bit of information encountered in one context is transplanted into another context. Intrusion errors: errors in which other knowledge intrudes into the remembered event. When participants are presented with a list of words, they are much more likely to remember the words if they are of a given theme. Recall the list"s theme word- even though it was not presented. Drm procedure: a commonly used experimental procedure for eliciting and studying memory errors. In this procedure, a person sees or hears a list of words that are all related to a single theme; however the word that names the theme is not included itself. Nonetheless, people are very likely to remember later that the theme word was presented.
