MEMORY BIAS is a cognitive bias that either enhances or impairs the recall of a memory or that alters the content of a reported memory.
Childhood amnesia is the retention of few memories before the age of four.
One memory that I will never forget is, it was my first time in Italy ( my mom has told me that was my first time), and I remember playing with a doll in my Nonna's room. I had a cousin that is a year older than me and we never got along and still never do. However what I remember is I was playing with the doll and my cousin started to cry because it was her's. I remember my Nonna taking it away from me and giving it to her. I was so angry that she did that. I always bring it up and talk about it with my mom. I found out recently that even though she took the doll away from me, she did give my mom 100 Euro to go buy me one.
Hindsight Bias is the inclination to see past events as being predictable; also called the " I Knew it all along " effect.
Even though this isn't one of my own memories, and when this happened I was only 7 and didn't know much, I now know the full story as to what happened that falls under the category " Hindsight Bias". My dad's youngest brother who lived in Italy, was dating this woman who no one liked on both my dads side and my moms side. I do not remember her one bit. My father has told me stories on how she was very nasty and controlling. My uncle and " that woman" he was dating came to America for the first time and my dad treated them to Atlantic City. My dad gave his brother $50 to play and luckily my uncle won $500. My uncle went to give $50 to my dad back and thanked him and as he was giving the $50 back, "that woman" snitched it from my dads hand and said "NO! this is my money". I was also told that when my mom's mom met her, she said to my father " I don't know her but I do not like her, she gives me a bad vibe". And I also was told my dads mom that she was very spiteful and always told her son to stay away from her. Unfortunately my uncle ended up marrying her and he was murdered by her and her dad. Everyone in the family was heartbroken and shocked but at the same time, everyone was saying " we told him to stay away".
Tip of the tongue is when a subject is able to recall parts of an item, or related information.
This usually happens to me when I get extremely excited or nervous. I tend to forget or forget how to speak or pronounce words. This happens when I have to present or talk in front of a large group of people.
