Question

Chuck was in a car accident. He wishes he could put it behind him, but every night he has dreams about it, and every time he sees a car he remembers how he felt that day. Which category of memory failure associated with the seven sins of memory is exemplified? Group of answer choices distortion forgetting imposition intrusion

Answer 1

Intrusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intrusion memory may be defined as the memory that refers to the particular theme or the certain memory that is not the part of the actual episode. The part of the original memory is confused with the episodic memory.

When Chuck was in a car accident he had a wish that he can put behind him and dreams of that day. In this case the original memory has been mixed up or confused with the actual memory of the accident. Chuck is unable to distinguish between the two memories.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
