Only people who have mental disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, experience problems with their memories and develop alters with distinct sets of memories. b. Memory illusions reflect our brain’s adaptive tendencies to go beyond the information it has and may sometimes lead us to false recall information. c. Only about 10% of people are prone to any sort of memory illusion, whether it be falsely recalling a word in a list or misremembering an entire event. d. We sometimes falsely recall information because our brain focuses on individual details so much so that we can’t possibly retain all that information. 12) A key theme that has emerged from the memory research literature is that a. all explicit and implicit memories are stored in the hippocampus. b. memory illusions are evidence of serious memory problems such as Alzheimer’s disease or amnesia. c. active reconstruction of events alters our memory of the important and unimportant events of our lives. d. the passage of time has little or no effect on the accuracy of our memories. 13) Emilio is seeing a sports psychologist to help improve his mental preparation and performance.
