which of the following statements is false?
retrieving a memory involves the active process of reconstructing the memory.
schemas are useful in forming new memories because they allow you to quickly
integrate new experiences into your existing knowledge base.
the information you have already stored in long - term memory can potentially
contribute to distortions in forming a new memory.
once a long - term memory has been consolidated, it is impossible to distort it.

Explanation:

• Memory retrieval is an active reconstruction process.
• Schemas help integrate new experiences into existing knowledge.
• Existing long - term memory can cause new memory distortions.
• Long - term memories, even after consolidation, can be distorted. For example, misinformation effect studies show that new information can alter previously consolidated memories.

Answer:

Once a long - term memory has been consolidated, it is impossible to distort it.
