    Schacter asserts that "memory's malfunctions can be divided into seven fundamental transgressions or 'sins'."

  7. Source-monitoring error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-monitoring_error

    Source-monitoring relies heavily on the individual's activated memory records; if anything prevents encoding the contextual details of an event while it happens, relevant information will not be fully retrieved and errors will occur. [1] If the attributes of memory representations are highly differentiated, then fewer errors are expected to ...

  8. Suggestibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suggestibility

    Suggestibility uses cues to distort recollection: when the subject has been persistently told something about a past event, his or her memory of the event conforms to the repeated message. [1] A person experiencing intense emotions tends to be more receptive to ideas and therefore more suggestible. Generally, suggestibility decreases as age ...

  9. Source amnesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_amnesia

    Individuals with frontal lobe damage have deficits in temporal context memory; [6] source memory can also exhibit deficits in those with frontal lobe damage. [7] It appears that those with frontal lobe damage have difficulties with recency and other temporal judgements (e.g., placing events in the order they occurred), [8] and as such they are unable to properly attribute their knowledge to ...
