"When an event occurs, verbatim memory records an accurate representation. But even as it is doing so, gist memory begins processing the information and determining how it fits into our existing storehouse of knowledge. Verbatim memories generally die away within a day or two, leaving only the gist memory, which records the event as we interpreted it."
A new study about the brain reveals that we really remember the “gist” of things; how they fit into our own tapestry and self-created history. Not that memory was ever objective to begin with.
