Primes

• Reality Monitoring
  • Reality monitoring is the structural pattern in which a system that processes information from multiple kinds of sources must, for downstream use, attribute each piece of information to its source class — most fundamentally, internally generated versus externally perceived.

    This sourceOriginates the reality-monitoring framework distinguishing internally-generated from externally-perceived memories by source-correlated features.

Mechanisms

• Contradiction Timeline
  • Distinguishing a genuine memory from a reconstructed or revised one is the domain of reality monitoring, the cognitive process of telling internally generated content from externally derived experience.

    This sourceDefines reality monitoring as deciding whether remembered information originated in external perception or internal reasoning, imagination, or thought.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
