This new episodic representation will then influence subsequent identification less to the extent that an object already has many pre-existing representations in memory.
This active restructuring may also lead to the formation of false memories, because after active reorganization and integration within pre-existing representations, the memory representation can qualitatively differ from what was originally encoded [16], [17].
This active reorganization can also lead to the formation of false memories, as the memory representation can differ from what was originally encoded after active restructuring and integration within pre-existing representations [ 70, 71].
The effect of sleep in the creation of false memories is assumed to be related to an active reorganization and integration of memories within pre-existing representations, which can result in a memory representation that can differ from what was originally encoded [ 60, 70, 71].
Many linkages were pre-existing.
This links to pre-existing mental representations, based on theory and experience built up of multiple exposures to similar cases.
These studies used foreign language or obscure words, which are similar to nonwords in that they do not have a pre-existing semantic representation.
This suggests our anxious feelings at least partially depend on our pre-existing internal representation of one's own body shape.
Such findings would suggest that, in the absence of a pre-existing mental representation, participants rely on sound symbolic qualities of stimuli.
These sensory inputs are assimilated in a pre-existing visual representation of one's face.
It has been suggested that the induction of ownership in the rubber hand illusion depends critically on a top-down process of evaluating the rubber hand against a pre-existing cognitive representation of the body, based on whether the rubber hand is a plausible substitute for the body part [31].
