Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sir Frederic Bartlett believed that memory is largely a reconstructive process, meaning that when we remember things, we piece together fragments of information based on our pre-existing schemas, experiences, and expectations. This can sometimes result in inaccuracies or distortions in our memories, as we may fill in gaps with information that was not actually present during the original experience.
