memory processing

How does memory processing work?

The hard problem

How are memories created?

How Memories are created

⇒ See The hard problem

remembering is “an integrative reconstruction or construction.”
(p. 136)

prediction can edit memories after they are created.
(p. 137)

So our **believes, our values, our expectations shape the way we remember things. **

When we want to predict what happens next a Prediction Error occurs constantly. So when something is different this time a context-based prediction error occurs. With that the memory of the past changes. Before the context-based prediction error we were very sure of that memory. After the error our confidence towards the memory decreases.
See Neural Aspects of Prediction
A memory trace can be weakened when a prediction is not fulfilled. When the event is no longer predicted, memory for the event is weakened.
