Because we were unable to see these expressions at the time, our recall illustrates memory construction.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Memory construction is the formulation of new memories and it is sometimes argued not to be as reliable since people tend to add new information that may have not occurred in the first place. Adding new events during memory retrieval can change or distort what we believe we remember about the past and there is a possibility that this might lead to distortion and inaccuracies.

Inaccuracies can be caused by exposure to misleading information such as imagined events or uncertainties about particular occurrences. For example when a witness of a crime isn’t sure whether the vehicle was a truck or an SUV.
