Question

One night, Sandra has a dream that her former college roommate got married. She runs into her in a coffee shop about a year later and asks her how the wedding was. This form of memory distortion is also known as ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

source confusion

Explanation:

Source confusion, which can also be referred to as unconscious transference, is a type of memory distortion that occurs when a person is unable or recall where certain information comes from. The case of Sandra is an example of source confusion, as she fails to recall or remember that the event of her friend getting married was from her dream and did not occur in reality. If she had remembered the source of the information is from her dream, she won’t have asked her friend, how the wedding was.
