Document Summary
Memory trace vs. schema: memory is based on recall of memory traces. Reappearance hypothesis: the same memory can reappear, unchanged, again and again: memory is schematic. Relies of fragments to support a new construction. Mystic writing pad model: a model of memory based on a toy writing tablet that retains fragments of old messages even after they have been erased. In time, these fragments accumulate and begin to overlap, so that they become increasingly hard to read. Memory errors: an example of a memory error: Crashed into side of building in amsterdam. More than half of the participants reported seeing the crash on tv even though it was never filmed. Memory of seeing the crash and built details around it even when they never: a hypothesis regarding memory errors even saw this event on tv. The intrusion of new information on an event. Errors in which other knowledge intrudes into memory of an event: deese-roediger-mcdermott (drm) procedure.
