Paramnesia and confabulation - These are errors and illusions in memory and their reproduction. They may consist of: treatment of fantasies as genuine events; belief that events similar to a unique event have previously occurred (reduplication of memory); or belief that an event identical to a previous event has previously occurred (deja vu). Whilst all remembering depends heavily on reconstruction rather than on mere reproduction alone, confabulation is a highly error-prone form of production of spurious memories and fabrications. Do you listen to others, or are you just waiting to speak?
