This happens especially with traumatic events, since the victim’s cortisol levels heighten and their emotions are at a peak. Reconstructive memory is reliable to the extent that it can be altered by existing schemas, as proved by Bartlett (1932), Loftus and Palmer (1974), and Neisser and Harsch (1992), however, there are confounding variables such as levels of importance, stress, and the questions asked, all which may enforce one’s remembrance, as
