Introduction: Wynn and Logie did an experiment in 1998 to improve on Bartletts Study on reconstructive memory published in 1932.

The aim of their study was to see if familiar stories would change and be adjusted to fit in with the participants beliefs the same way Bartlett found with the War of the Ghosts Story. Method: A group of university students were asked to recall the events of their first week at school several times throughout the year. Results and Conclusion: Wynn and Logie discovered that it didnt matter how many times the events were retold; none of the details were changed. This is contrary to what Bartlett found. Evaluation: One of the main problems we face when looking at this study is that we do not know how accurate the details were in the beginning, and that the stories told to the researchers could already have been edited to fit in with participants memory. Another issue is that we may gradually forget minute details in our retellings making them seem less accurate or different when in fact the memories have not been subconsciously changed. It is more ecologically valid than Bartletts study as we commonly need to remember experiences; our brains are use to the activity of encoding and retrieving memories.
