Remembering anything is a reconstructive process.this memory retrieval to happen, however, do not include exact records of those past events. Instead, episodic remembering is a reconstructive process, whereby one must make use of stored information that is often limited and incomplete. Because of this reconstructive nature of retrieval, memories are subject to distortion (Bartlett 1932; Schacter 1995; Schacter et al 1998). The study of memory distortion and its basis in the brain, as reviewed below, can provide many insights into this process..
