Document Summary
No glass in original video 14% said yes. Higher yes at 32% if asked how the cars (cid:3247)smashed(cid:3248) rather than (cid:3247)ran(cid:3248) into each other. Illustrated problems of storage and retrieval and reliability of memory and challenges the idea that memories are permanently stored and not like a videotape. Deciding when things happened , sometimes events from other times can be caught with a specific memory of a specific event changing the overall memory, and a source monitoring error occurs when it is misattributed. Reality monitoring is the process whether memories are based on internal or external events. Used in real life in eyewitness testimonies where reality monitoring is significant in eyewitness memory to. Ebbinghaus 185 testde himself through the recall of nonsense syllables. Measures the forgetting slows creating a forgetting curve . Ineffective encoding (no attention or no memory trace). Fading of memories due to misuse, due to deactivation of neural.
