Document Summary

Usually we talk about these finite/abstract things like lists of words and trying to recall them, complex events are what happen everyday. E. g. airplane lost power to two engines crashed into side of building in amsterdam. 193 participants interviewed 10 months later more than half of the participants reported seeing the crash on tv. There was no video footage of the crash but they were confident in what they had seen on tv/news. Similarly, 911, we remembered the tragedy that happened and remembered the reactions of the state and the world. There was a study done on whether people remembered the first plane hitting the tower; a good number remembered. Again there was no video footage of that. This is a typical office space except no books on shelves. The actual experiment is asking them to describe the office. They say yeah there"s a chair or desk; participants often report seeing books or other typical items in an office.
