A complete understanding of human memory requires us to comprehend memory’s failures as well as its successes. In addition to being inherently interesting, memory errors provide insight into how memory functions for successful, accurate retrieval. This chapter outlines several areas in which human memory is less than perfect, including false memory for words, eyewitness suggestibility, verbal overshadowing, false fame, imagination inflation, and implanted memories for entire events. Not surprisingly, given the complexity of memory, there are many different ways that error can enter the system, from encoding to retrieval. Together, the data highlight the constructive nature of memory, as proposed by Bartlett (1932).
