contained in the memory, and the cognitive operations that were engaged when the memory was established. For instance, consider a memory for having recently seen an enjoyable movie. The memory would probably contain much more information about where and when the movie was seen, about the vividness of particular scenes, and about relationships among the characters, than would a memory based on merely having thought about seeing the movie. On the other hand, a memory based on pure fantasy would usually contain more information about the cognitive operations used to generate the memory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
