- Bartlett (1932) The reconstructive memory: memories are organised in schemas and remembeing involveds the retrieval of information which has been unknowingly altered with compatible pre-existing knowledge
- Why do we forget: proactive interference, old memories disrupt new ones, retroactive interference: when new memories disrupt old memories
