Answer:

constructive process.

Step-by-step explanation:

The constructive processes refer to the mechanisms in which the meaning we assign to events affects memories. The principle of constructive memory claims that we use a range of knowledge including our perceptions, values, behaviors, etc to fill in gaps. It is based on the notion that when we retrieve information, the memory generated is influenced not only by the direct previous experience we had with the stimulus but also by our assumptions and inferences about its significance.
