Fuzzy-trace Theory, governed by these 5 principles, has proved useful in explaining false memory and generating new predictions about it.
12.
In terms of reasoning, fuzzy-trace theory posits that as we mature, we increasingly rely more on gist information over verbatim information.
13.
Multiple trace theory states that these memories come together in our brain to form a memory matrix from the simple concatenation of the individual memories:
14.
Fuzzy-trace theory, an opposing theory to source monitoring error, stipulates that memories are composed of two components; gist and verbatim traces.
15.
Due to the stochastic nature of context, it is almost never the case in multiple trace theory that a probe item exactly matches an encoded memory.
16.
The fuzzy trace theory explains why children are able to infer relationships between two objects from a known relationship with a third object, known as transitive reasoning.
17.
Fuzzy-trace theory thus proposes that misattributed memories arise due to the short lifespan of verbatim traces, being that the quality of source information is rapidly declining.
18.
Similar to the Verbal Paradigm is Fuzzy-trace theory, which dictates that one encodes two separate things about a memory : the actual information itself and the semantic information surrounding it ( or the gist ).
19.
To summarize, Fuzzy-Trace Theory uses a cognitive triage ( memory strength, episodic activation and output interference ) to explain its unique model of recall strength; weaker-stronger-weaker activation from memory stores.
20.
Similar to the Verbal Paradigm is "'Fuzzy Trace Theory "', which dictates that one encodes two separate things about a memory : the actual information itself and the semantic information surrounding it ( or the gist ).
