Reconstructive Memory (Bartlett - 1932)
Focuses on memory errors / mis-remembering
LTM stores information semantically (by meaning)
Memory does not store information exactly the way that it happened; a perception is stored
- Memory is not to be relied upon; it is not like a video recorder
If we can't remember, we 'fill in the gaps' with what we expect to have happened
Memory reconstructs events based on schemas
Schema Theory argues that memories are stored as 'pockets of knowldege
Memory recall is based on pre-existing schematic knowledge, rather than what actually happened
