MEMORY LOCATIONS AND ADDRESSES:- Number and character operands‚ as well as instructions‚ are stored in the memory of a computer. The memory consists of many millions of storage cells‚ each of which can store a bit of information having the value 0 or 1. Because a single bit represents a very small amount of information‚ bits are seldom handled individually. The usual approach is to deal with them in groups of fixed size. For this purpose‚ the memory is organized so that a group of n bits can be

Research has found it to be the opposite‚ memories are not perfect recordings of past events but just reconstructions of those events (Roediger & DeSoto‚ 2015). Memory is reconstructive and can be influenced by one’s general knowledge and by post-event information. These reconstructions can either be accurate
