Source Monitoring Errors

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A source monitoring error is remembering information correctly while misattributing where it came from.

Show

A detail read in a news report is later recalled as something a friend said.

Watch for

Source is encoded separately from content and is lost more easily. Content survives its own provenance.
