Studies of Reconstructive Memory: Investigating Schema Application
Explore the phenomenon of reconstructive memory through various studies such as Bartlett (1932), Stuyvers & Hemmer (2012), Wynn & Logie (1992), Cordua et al. (1979), and Loftus & Palmer (1974). These studies manipulate schemas applied to information, leading to changes in recall detail and structure. Discover how individuals reconstruct memories and draw conclusions based on the findings.

Presentation Transcript
Last lesson I told you the story of The War of the Ghosts ... Without conferring with each other, write down the story in as much detail as you can.
Bartlett (1932) PPs were given an unfamiliar story to learn; were repeatedly tested on recall. Shorter Less detailed Changes to detail Changes to structure
Studies of reconstructive memory Many studies have investigated reconstructive memory by manipulating which schemas PPs apply to info and looking for changes in recall. Bartlett (1932) Stuyvers & Hemmer (2012) Wynn & Logie (1992) Cordua et al (1979) Loftus & Palmer (1974) Jigsaw activity - 1 study per expert group
Studies of reconstructive memory Jigsaw groups: 1. Share explanations of method and results of each study. 2. As a group, draw one or more conclusions from each study.
