| 2916741750 | repression | in psychoanalytic theory, basic defense mechanism that banishes from consciousness anxiety- arousing thoughts, feelings, and memories. | 38 | |
| 2916741751 | misinformation effect | incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event | 39 | |
| 2916741752 | source amnesia | attributing to the wrong source an event we have experienced, heard about, read about, or imagined. At the heart of many false memories. | 40 | |
