Memory is often a reconstruction


In this experiment, we were presented 8 different pictures, one at a time for a second each. Then we drew what we remembered in our short term memory (while giving hints beside). The results turn out astonishing:
1: We create our own memory and these memories are an accurate reflection of past experience.
2: Some parts of the picture appeared to be similar but some parts are drawn differently due to our past experiences toward the verbal stimuli (hints given on the paper).
