Autonoesis and reconstruction in episodic memory: Is remembering systematically misleading?

Behavioral and Brain Sciences 41 (2018)

Abstract

Mahr and Csibra view autonoesis as being essential to episodic memories and construction as being essential to the process of episodic remembering. These views imply that episodic memory is systematically misleading, not because it often misinforms us about the past, but rather because it often misinforms us about how it informs us about the past.
