We link cleansing effects to contemporary cognitive theories via an account of event representation (intersecting object histories) that provides an explicit, neurally plausible mechanism for encoding objects (e.g., the self) and their associations (with other entities) across time. It explains separation as resulting from weakening associations between the self in the present and the self in the past.

通过交叉对象历史的棱镜进行净化的心理学

我们通过对事件表示（相交对象历史）的描述将清洁效应与当代认知理论联系起来，该描述为跨时间编码对象（例如，自我）及其关联（与其他实体）提供了一种明确的、神经上似是而非的机制。它将分离解释为由于现在的自我与过去的自我之间的联系减弱而导致的。
