When gianna returns to college after a summer touring france, she tells her roommate about her many experiences. she does not always remember them accurately, however, so she fills in the gaps in her memory with logical details about how things “must” have happened. several weeks later, she is telling another friend about her trip. gianna will probably: a. remember her experiences more accurately than she had previously b. feel very confused about what things actually did and did not happen in france c. have different gaps in her memory than she did when talking to her roommate, and so construct very different recollections of her experiences in france d. remember her experiences in france as occurring in essentially the way that she previously described them to her roommate

The best answer to the situation placed by the excerpt here, regarding memory and how a person recounts experiences from a trip, including the gaps that lay in the information, would be: D: Remember her experiences in France as occurring in essentially the way that she previously described them to her roommate.

Explanation:

The reason for this is that memory, when there are gaps of information, tends to fill these gaps with the logical, or probable data, that would fit the memory being given. In this case, Gianna is telling about her experiences in France. However, there are gaps in her memory. What her brain does is, use the available logical information from previous knowledge, not necessarily lived experiences, and use it to complete the information. When a second, or third, telling happen, the person´s memory has already included into it those logical facts that not necessarily happen, but that make sense, so that there is no longer gaps. Therefore, in a memory, there may be pieces of information that come not from experiences lived, but rather, from previous knowledge, or acquired knowledge.

if im not mistaken its a. collective emotional arousal
