PSYC 336 Lecture 8: 8.2 - Remembering Complex Events II
Document Summary
Elements of an episode are stored separately from one another and linked by connections. Bit representing wah you saw visual processing, what you heard auditory processing. The system is a vast spider web. No boundaries keeping the elements of one episode separate from elements of other episodes. There are more connections linking the various aspects of that memory to one another, and fewer connections linking it to other memories. Transplant errors a bit of information encountered in one context is transplanted into another context. Elements that were part of your thinking gets misremembered as if they were actually part of the original experience. Help retrieval paths enable you to locate information in memory. Hurt makes it difficult to see where the remembered episode stops and other, related knowledge begins. Intrusion errors a memory error in which a person recalls elements that were not part of the episode. Owens, bower, and black (1979) - passage study.
