Bartlett's "Remembering"

Bartlett's "Remembering" refers to the way our memory reconstructs past experiences, often influenced by our existing knowledge, beliefs, and cultural context. Instead of recalling exact details, we tend to fill in gaps and alter memories to fit our current understanding, making recollections more coherent but sometimes less accurate. This process highlights that memory is not a perfect playback but an active reconstruction, emphasizing the role of meaning and expectations in how we remember the past.
