Question

Ch 8 chuck was in a car accident. he wishes he could put it behind him, but every night he has dreams about it, and every time he sees a car he remembers how he felt that day. which category of memory failure associated with the seven sins of memory is exemplified?

Answer 1

It is intrusion

Intrusion error occurs when Information linked to the theme of a particular memory, but not in any way related to the original episode becomes connected with the event.

In this circumstance, it becomes so difficult to differentiate the elements that are part of the original memory. Word-lists recall test are the means by which intrusion error are studied.

FURTHER EXPLANATION

There are two categories of intrusion errors. The first category is known as extra-lists error while the second category is known as intra-lists error.  

The extra-lists error occurs when item that are incorrect and not related are recalled. These first categories (extra-lists error) often align with what are known as DRM paradigm effect, in which items that are recalled incorrectly are thematically linked to the study list from which individual is trying to recall.

Another pattern for extra-lists intrusions is acoustic similarity pattern. This pattern state that targets that has same sound as non-target can be substituted with non-target in recall.  

However, the second category of intrusion is known as intra-list error. This is made of irrelevant recall of items present on the word study list. Extra-lists and intra list error are actually the results of laboratory study but both can be apply to real life events.  

KEYWORDS:

• extra-lists error
• intrusion error
• intra-lists

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: Intrusion

in the seven sins of memory, intrusion refers to the type of memory that is deemed as distrubing and very undesirable, that might elevate the stress level of the person. Usually this type of memory is derived from a very traumatic event such as war, accidents, witnessing a murder, etc.<span />
