Professor Bridget Robinson-Riegler spoke with WCCO-TV about how humans recall their memoriesĀ for theĀ news stationās Good Question segment. Robinson-Riegler, who teaches in the Collegeās psychologyĀ department, explained to television viewers that its common forĀ individuals to have mismemories. She commented that memories are not like tape recorders in that peopleĀ replay them exactly as they happened. Instead, memoriesĀ are reconstructed, so when theĀ brain encodes memories, itĀ encodes different pieces of different events.
āWhen we go to recall it, we piece together different aspects of events,ā Robinson-RieglerĀ said. āItās not just the event that happened weāre trying to remember but other events similar to it.ā
