Document Summary
Episodic memory: memory for a specific encoding event/episode has a time stamp . Semantic/generic memory: memory for general knowledge does not have source memory: both are incorporated into memories of complex events. Example: going to the store memory for specific instance; knowledge of items needed to. Id & encode them: knowledge in the real world . Misremembering (changing or adding) details of an event. Reproductive memory: on what information it is based, types of memory errors you would expect to make using this process of retrieval: reproduction: retrieving encoded information from memory. Based on bottom-up information only: recall can be reproductive, constructive, or reconstructive. Make inferences based on what we experienced even if they are not correct. Look at picture of office, recall test after from brewer & treyens, 1981. What about books: reproductive memory may not allow for accurate recall of information.
