The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are-

  • Jason probably has repressed the memories.
  • Jason's experiences were stored in his false memory.
  • Jason has amnesia.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-Jason probably has repressed the memories.

Step-by-step explanation:

Repressed memory refers to the suppressed memory which is thought to be stored in the unconscious mind but blocked from the recall by the conscious mind. The concept of the repressed memory is controversial as it does not have the experimental proofs.

The theory of repressed memory claims that the repressed memory although cannot be recalled but it can have the permanent emotional and behavioural effects on the person.

In the given question, since the person was not able to recall the horrific sights of war therefore he could have suppressed or repressed his memories.

Thus, Jason probably has repressed the memories is the correct answer.
