Question

You get into an argument with your roommate about whose turn it is to clean your shared fish tank. You have a clear memory of cleaning the tank last time, but your roommate insists that she was the one who cleaned it last time. Explain the mental processes you would use to determine whether your memory or your roommate's memory is accurate. (Do not focus on compromises or preventive measures for future conflicts such as this; focus on the ways to verify memories now.)

Answer 1

Answer: Serial recall

Explanation:

Serial recall is a process where events that were done in the past are outlined in the by which they took place to get a knowledge of an event or what needs to be checked. It is used by investigation agents to get an idea of what they need to do on a case. Both I and my roommate would have to outline events individually that took place that day and match them up to know who's at fault.
