We know memory doesn't record facsimile experiences. When, say, a witness states their recollection of an event, the reconstructions are error-prone. But, it happens during synthesis of second-hand experiences, too. Is there a word for the latter? Maybe something Abelsonian?https://twitter.com/AlanLevinovitz/status/980885742107979776 …

That's fascinating--there's documented evidence of this in second-hand events? Would love to see more on it. (What do you mean by Abelsonian?)

The Asch Experiment is a good precursor though. I vaguely remember there being work on elaborations but I'm away from my home base now. And, it happens with rumors a lot (but hard to prove). I'd hypothesis a lot isn't lying though. It's just reconstructed expectations.
