1. Long-term memory and memory errors.Memory, as a system that records our experiences, is not reproductive or photographic (a place where information comes in and is automatically and accurately stored for future reference). On the contrary, memory is re-constructive. What people remember is constructed from what actually happened and from additional information gathered from general knowledge, expectations and interests. Hence people remember certain events better than others because of their significance or their rarity. They may omit or distort what happened or even report events that did not happen. People’s memory of an event can also be modified by things that happen after the event has occurred (i.e., misinformation effect). If we analyze the content of the errors a person makes when remembering and the context in which they occur, we will discover that his/her memories of past events are merely the outcome of a creative process. Creativity can help people to determine what happened when they have incomplete information. In sum, memory is an efficient (yet slightly inaccurate) system designed to use partial information to arrive at a “best guess” answer.
