Detailed explanation-1: -Sir Frederic Bartlett initially described reconstructive memory in 1932. He determined that the recollection of an event depends on an individual’s interpretation of the event. As someone recalls an event, they attempt to reconstruct it in their mind.
Detailed explanation-2: -This theory was proposed by Sir Frederick Bartlett, one of the early figures in memory research. Bartlett’s central insight was that memory is not like a tape recorder: it doesn’t faithfully play back our experiences. Instead, it changes or “reconstructs” them imaginatively.
Detailed explanation-3: -For this research Bartlett concluded that memory is not exact and is distorted by existing schema, or what we already know about the world. It seems, therefore, that each of us ‘reconstructs’ our memories to conform to our personal beliefs about the world.
