Boundary extension is the tendency to remember visual scenes as being more extensive than they actually are, often resulting in a "zoomed out" perspective.

Wide-angle memory and larger context may be related to this phenomenon, but are not specific terms used to describe this particular tendency. Eidetic imagery refers to the ability to vividly recall visual images, typically for brief periods of time immediately after viewing the image, and is not directly related to boundary extension.
