Biased recall
- Distorted memory of past events
- Unreliability of memory
- Incorrect memories
- False memories
Nature
Memories are distorted by the peak experience of any episode – whether good or bad – and what it felt like when the experience stopped. Thus, memory will rank a short and relatively painless operation which ends on a painful note as worse than an operation which ends on a painless note, even if it lasted longer and was overall more painful.
