Document Summary
Can happen in many ways, starting with errors in the initial exposure and continuing with recall. We use these connections in retrieval to find the information we are looking for can cause problems when we have too many and. Sometimes the connections we have between memories tie together to make mistakes that seem real they tie together: transplant errors: when information from one context is implanted in another memory. Intrusion errors: errors in which other knowledge intrudes into the remembered event. Deese- roediger- mcdermott procedure: same connections that are helpful can also hurt with word lists and recall. Bed, rest, sleep, dream, blanket they may recall the word sleep since it relates, but it was never in the list. Participants become very confident with these answers, just as confident as with words that were actually there. Errors happen even when participants are warned ahead of time automatic responses that create the errors.
