Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A major influence on our reconstructive memory is:
A
The time it takes to recall something
B
Almost always accurateOur level of intelligence
C
Our previous experiences and expectations
D
The position of events in a story
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Retrieval cues. After the information is encoded and stored in our memory, specific cues are often needed to retrieve these memories. These are known as retrieval cues and they play a major role in reconstructive memory.

Detailed explanation-2: -the process of remembering conceived as involving the recreation of an experience or event that has been only partially stored in memory. When a memory is retrieved, the process uses general knowledge and schemas for what typically happens in order to reconstruct the experience or event.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reconstructive model (Braine, 1965; Pollio & Foote, 1971) posits that memories are not stored in LTM as intact units of experience (e.g., like a video recording), but rather as individual details with varying degrees of association to each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -Another example of reconstructive memory includes recalling the details of a day at the beach. When asked to relay memories from the day, someone might describe seagulls or a beach umbrella even if one was not present. Their own previous beach experiences can produce a false memory when the day is reconstructed.
