You are on the witness stand explaining what happened when you saw the accident. you say the cars were going about 60 miles per hour when they crashed, even though at the scene you said they were only going 30 miles per hour. the fact that you now "remember" they were going 60 miles per hour is an example of: a. memory reconstruction. b. deconstruction. c. short-term memory. d. frontal lobe triggers.

A.memory reconstruction.

Explanation:

Reconstructive memory refers to the way memories are gathered from bits of information. Memories are not perfectly formed, and they depend on outside influences to develop the whole picture. These influences can be anything like a person's own expectations or suggestions from other people.

Many people want to believe that memories are perfect and can not be shaped by information out of memory. However, in memory recovery, there are blind spots. The brain fills these gaps, which is reconstructive memory. In remembering a memory, a person will remember pieces of it and, in order to form a general memory, add things to it, or rebuild it.
