Psychology / Unit 6 Psych 0702 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Source Monitoring Errors
Captions available
The idea
A source monitoring error is remembering information correctly while misattributing where it came from.
In practice
A detail read in a news report is later recalled as something a friend said.
Where people slip
Source is encoded separately from content and is lost more easily. Content survives its own provenance.
