Murdocks serial position curve study shows us that

• memory is engaging

• memory is mostly semantic

• memory is an active process

• memory is learning

memory is an active process meaning - to make memories

• we must always listen, take notes and recall

• we must be interested

• we must go through information multiple times

• we must engage with information effectively

reconstructive memory is a

• semantic memory

• construction of memory

• theroy (idea)

• recall memory

reconstructive memory is a theroy (idea)

• that fits with memory differences

• that fits with active processes

• that fits with re learning

• that fits with memory recall

Is how we remember influenced by other influences apart from memory alone?

the theroy of reconstructive memory would argue that the process of remembering is influenced by many factors. these factors include: ​ (a)   ​ (b)   ​ (c)  

• imagination
• beleifs
• perceptions
• time
• thoughts
• recall
• process
• what we see

reconstructive memory.

children - when they are unable to remember something

• they turn to books to find out the answer

• they use their imagination to fill in the gap

• they try to find out the answer by asking others

• they ignore it and turn to something else

reconstructive memory

our beleifs about certain groups of people

• may influence your thought

• may influence what is remembered about them

• which you will only remember what you disliked about them

• which you will only remember what you liked about them

reconstructive memory

how we perceive a situation may mean that we notice and remember

• the things that match our initial perception

• the things that do not match our perception

• the things that are unexpected

• the things that are expected

reconstructive memory

how we perceive a situation may mean that we notice and remember

the things that match our initial perception

• than the things that are unexpected

• than the things that are unimportant

• than the things that match

• than the things that do not match

can we trust our memorys to be 100% accurate

• yes

• no
