KOLIKO SIGURNO ZNAMO ONO STO MISLIMO DA ZNAMO?!

HOW CERTAINLY DO WE KNOW WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW?!

REZIME

Ljudsko pamcenje je veoma delikatna stvar.Ljudska memorija je bila glavna inspiracija i tema koja je
okupirala mnoge velike psihologe.

Cilj ovog istrazivanja je da dokaze da "memorija nije toliko kao citanje knjiga koliko je kao pisanje jedne
od nepotpunih belezaka" [1],tj. da nase pamcenje jednom dozivljenog utiska nije pouzdano koliko mi
mislimo da jeste.Ljudi dok se prisecaju nekog podatka vise ga rekonstruisu nego sto ga reprodukuju.[2]
Cetrdset jedan ispitanik je odgledao scenu pljacke kamiona Dato im je uputstvo da zapisu sve cega se
secaju iz te scene(nije bilo konkretnih pitanja da ne bih sugestijama uticala na njihove odgovore).Posle
dve nedelje ispitanicima je dato isto uputstvo.

Sada su ispitanici svoje price skratili,ali su ih zato dopunili izmisljenim detaljima.Veliki broj novih cinjenica
je nastalo usled racionalizacije i pokusaja objasnjenja stvari kojih nisu mogli da se sete i koje su im sada
bile nelogicne.Takodje se u njihovim iskazima javlja asimilacija,tj. poistovecivanje novog iskustva sa
starim.

Kljucne reci:rekonstrukcija,reprodukcija,racionalizacija,asimilacija,nelogicnosti

SUMMARY

Human memory is very delicate. It was the biggest inspiration and preoccupation of many great
psychologists.

The main goal of this research is to prove that "memory is not as much as reading books as much it is as
writing one of defective notes"[1] ,which means that our memorizing once experienced impression is not
reliable as much as we think it is. People more reconstruct data when they try to recall it than they
reproduce it.[2]

Forty-one people have watched a scene with truck robbery and they were given the instruction to write
down everything that they can recall (I did not give them concrete questions because I did not want to
influence their answers). After two weeks the same students had the same task.

Their stories were now much shorter, but full with invented details. There was a lot of new "facts" as a
result of rationalization and attempt of explaining the facts that they could not remember and that were
illogical. In their reports we can also notice the appearance of, so called, assimilation, which is equalizing
a new with an old experience.

Key words: reconstruction, reproduction, rationalization, assimilation, illogical
