"SCHEMA-DRIVEN MEMORY"

"It’s important to bear in mind that a core function of memory is to provide you with information you are likely to need in a particular situation."

"In order to be able to predict what will happen in a complex event, you have developed frameworks in memory often called schemas that help predict the sequence of events you are likely to experience and the reasons why you perform those events."

"You have schemas for many things that you do at work. When you think back on the past, you may use those schemas to structure your memory, which may lead you to misremember the order of events or the particular meeting in which a key idea was stated."

"Things you hear about after an event can get mixed in with your visual memories of the event itself."
