ABSTRACT

Memory is constructive, but that does not mean it is unreliable. When people remember the events of their lives they depend on knowledge, some of which is in the form of scripts or schemata. Schematic information encodes typical patterns in events, and for this reason schemata often contribute veridical features to memory reconstruction. This process can be thought of in Bayesian terms, as incorporating prior probabilities based on recurring patterns in experience. It also can be thought of in terms of statistical regression, such that information from knowledge is combined with information from episodic traces to reconstruct a best estimate of what happened.

摘要

内存具有建设性，但这并不意味着内存不可靠。当人们记住生活中的事件时，他们依赖于知识，其中一些以脚本或图式的形式出现。示意图信息对事件中的典型模式进行编码，因此，示意图通常会为存储重构提供垂直特征。可以用贝叶斯（Bayesian）术语来考虑此过程，因为它是根据经验的重复模式合并先验概率的。还可以从统计回归的角度来考虑，以便将来自知识的信息与来自情节轨迹的信息相结合，以重建对所发生事件的最佳估计。
