Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Source monitoring refers to the ability to accurately determine the origin of a particular memory (i.e. whether it was imagined or actually experienced). In this scenario, Seth is aware that he is creating a mental image, rather than recalling a specific bowling incident from a past game. Therefore, his accurate source monitoring allows him to recognise that he is constructing these images through visualisation.
