Scrambled Memories
51 students marked "I sat this"Added 14 May 2020Question #110300
Drag words into the blanks.
Memories can become scrambled, sometimes in the process of attempting to 1 something. You might relate a story to a friend but 2 include some mistaken details. Later, as you attempt to recall the 3, you might come across your memory of the scrambled recall attempt instead of your original memory. Memory is malleable. It is not, as 4 thought, like a museum piece sitting in a display case.
