Memory Construction Chapter 8, Lecture 6 “Like scientists who infer a dinosaur’s appearance from its remains, we infer our past from stored information plus what we later imagined, expected, saw, and heard.” - David Myers

Memory Construction While tapping our memories, we filter or fill in missing pieces of information to make our recall more coherent. Misinformation Effect: Incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event.

Eyewitnesses reconstruct their memories when questioned about the event. Misinformation and Imagination Effects Depiction of the actual accident.

Misinformation Group A: How fast were the cars going when they hit each other? Group B: How fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?

Memory Construction A week later they were asked: Was there any broken glass? Group B (smashed into) reported more broken glass than Group A (hit).

Source Amnesia Source Amnesia: Attributing an event to the wrong source that we experienced, heard, read, or imagined (misattribution).

Children’s eyewitness recall can be unreliable if leading questions are posed. However, if cognitive interviews are neutrally worded, the accuracy of their recall increases. In cases of sexual abuse, this usually suggests a lower percentage of abuse. Children’s Eyewitness Recall

Are memories of abuse repressed or constructed? Many psychotherapists believe that early childhood sexual abuse results in repressed memories. However, other psychologists question such beliefs and think that such memories may be constructed. Memories of Abuse

Constructed Memories Loftus’ research shows that if false memories (lost at the mall or drowned in a lake) are implanted in individuals, they construct (fabricate) their memories. Don Shrubshell

Consensus on Childhood Abuse 1.Injustice happens. 2.Incest and other sexual abuse happen. 3.People may forget. 4.Recovered memories are commonplace. 5.Recovered memories under hypnosis or drugs are unreliable. 6.Memories of things happening before 3 years of age are unreliable. 7.Memories, whether real or false, are emotionally upsetting. Leading psychological associations of the world agree on the following concerning childhood sexual abuse:
