In the psychology context, memory construction refers to the process by which the brain encodes, stores, and retrieves information to create memories. This process highlights the active nature of memory, suggesting that memories are not simply recorded and stored as exact replicas of experiences but are instead constructed and reconstructed based on various influences, including prior knowledge, emotions, and social context. Memory construction involves both the initial creation of a memory (encoding and storage) and the later recollection or reconstruction of the memory when needed (retrieval).
