Part 7 Construction

Memory Construction While tapping our memories, we fill in missing info to make our recall more coherent Misinformation Effect: incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event Elizabeth Loftus (p.25) 3

Misinformation & Imagination Effects Eyewitnesses reconstruct their memories when questioned Showed people a film of a traffic accident & then quizzed them on what they saw. Depiction of the actual accident. 4

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? 5

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). Handout 9-10 6

Source Amnesia Source Amnesia: attributing an event to the wrong source that we experienced, heard, read, or imagined (misattribution) Among the frailest parts of a memory is its source. Jean Piaget story p.384 7

Discerning True & False Memories Just like true perception and illusion, real memories and memories that seem real are difficult to discern. © Simon Niedsenthal When students formed a happy or angry memory of morphed (computer blended) faces, they made the computer assisted faces either happier or angrier. 8

False Memories Repressed or Constructed? Some adults actually do forget childhood episodes of abuse. False Memory Syndrome: a condition in which a person’s identity & relationships center around a false, but strongly believed, memory of a traumatic experience, sometimes induced by well-meaning therapists Handout 9-9 Iraq War story (p.28) 9

Children’s Eyewitness Recall 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. 10

Memories of Abuse 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. 11

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 12 Elizabeth Loftus

Consensus on Childhood Abuse Leading psychological associations of the world agree on the following concerning childhood sexual abuse: Injustice happens. Incest and other sexual abuse happens. People may forget. 13

Consensus on Childhood Abuse Recovered memories are commonplace. Recovered memories under hypnosis or drugs are unreliable. Memories of things happening before 3 years of age are unreliable. Memories, whether real or false, are emotionally upsetting. 14
