www.psychexamreview.com In this video I explain the 4 remaining "sins" of memory from Daniel Schacter's list. Misattribution refers to incorrectly identifying the source of a memory and relates to false recognition, deja vu, and cryptomnesia. Suggestibility is the idea that our memories are subject to influence and distortion from external information. Several types of bias can influence memory, including consistency bias and egocentric bias. Persistence refers to repeated recall of memories of traumatic events that disrupts one's life and is related to disoders like PTSD. Don’t forget to subscribe to the channel to see future videos!
