Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Confabulation occurs when a person recalls an event and includes both accurate memories and made-up memories, which can be more common in young children who are still developing their memory processes. Deliberately lying, using imagination, or not remembering where they learned something are not necessarily examples of confabulation.
