How do false memories differ from real memories?
False memories can be common and imagined events can feel real, unlike real memories.
What process helps individuals make sense of ambiguous stimuli by relying on previous knowledge?
Memory encoding
In the context of perception, what term describes the cognitive process of assigning emotional weight to perceptions?
