Our memory is a reconstruction: memories change by recalling them or through influences such as dreams. For a long time, it was thought that our memory worked like a library: you retrieve a memory like a book and put it back in the same way. Our memory, however, is a reconstruction: it changes continuously. By recalling memories, they can change slightly, and dreams or certain events can also influence memories. Our memory is therefore not objective, and memories can also be incorrect. By recalling memories in the right way, you strengthen them correctly. It is therefore important to work with learning strategies such as Interleaving, Spaced practice, and Retrieval practice.
