Analysis of the Dynamics of Reasoning Using Multiple

transitions change all components of the state in one step. However, within stepwise
reasoning processes, usually transitions only involve a limited number of components of the
state, e.g., only one or two. ...
Creating associative memory distortions
... Memory illusions, which have fascinated
researchers for decades, refer to situations in which a person
either declares that he or she remembers something that did
not really occur or remembers a fact that did occur but in
a manner that seriously differs from actually experienced
events (Roediger, 19 ...

Fuzzy-trace theory
The fuzzy-trace theory (FTT) is a theory of cognition originally proposed by Charles J. Brainerd and Valerie F. Reyna that draws upon dual-trace conceptions to predict and explain cognitive phenomena, particularly in the memory and reasoning domains. The theory has been used in areas such as cognitive psychology, human development, and social psychology to explain, for instance, false memory and its development, probability judgments, medical decision making, risk perception and estimation, and biases and fallacies in decision making.
