Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Source misattribution occurs when a person incorrectly remembers information about the source of a memory, such as the time, place, person, or circumstances involved. Absentmindedness refers to forgetfulness due to a lack of attention, and the sleeper effect is when people become more likely to believe a message over time, even if the source is not credible. Cryptomnesia refers to mistaking one's own original idea for a new one when it has actually been encountered before.
