Question

In the study by Frederick Bartlett (1930), he asked English participants to listen to and recall folktales from an unfamiliar culture. He observed that many participants added elements to the story from their own culture when they recalled the stories. What does this study illustrate?

Answer 1

Answer: the study illustrates that memories have a constructive process

Explanation:

Frederik Bartlett is famous for the idea that remembering is constructive and the concept of schema; for him, 'constructive' implied that human beings are future-oriented and flexibly adaptive to new situations.
