Reading the passage
The second paragraph gives us two possibilities: new information can reinforce something already remembered or fill a gap. I'm looking for one of those processes. The key condition is that the new information doesn't actively conflict with what is already stored.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
Support for an existing memory is the “reinforcement” described in the second paragraph. This is one of the two processes we recalled.
- B
The information isn't described as remaining tentative, labeled as guesswork, and then fading. It may be retained as part of the memory.
- C
No comparison says the new information stays more vivid than the original details.
- D
The account starts with information that doesn't actively conflict with stored memories. It doesn't describe changing incompatible new information to make it fit.
- E
This removes that condition. The described process concerns information that does not actively conflict with the stored memory, not evidence that conflicting information is retained anyway.
