Misconceptions of Memory: The Scooter Libby Effect

When we know in advance that something is important, we are likely to remember it. When we only realize its importance after the fact, however, it is often more difficult to recall all the details. New research suggests that, even though it's not deliberate, other people may not be very sympathetic if one were to cite this phenomenon as an excuse for forgetting. Participants predicting the responses of a group of volunteers expected they would remember the majority of facts presented to them, even though those volunteers were told that not all the items were equally important. These findings suggest we sometimes place unrealistic demands on others' memory and could have significant implications for situations that rely on recall.
