Miguel and Alicia disagree about who introduced them to each other. Miguel insists that his cousin introduced them, while Alicia is equally sure that her best friend did so. In defense of her recollection, Alicia argues, "I have never liked your cousin even though we grew up together. I would never let him introduce me to anyone. That's how I know that what you're saying couldn't possibly be true." In reality, Miguel's cousin actually was the person who introduced them. How would a psychologist who studies reconstructive memory explain Alicia's faulty recollection? O Alicia's schema for Miguel's cousin is influencing her memory. O Alicia may have been drinking when she met Miguel, and the alcohol interfered with her memory. O Alicia may have repressed her memory of meeting Miguel and is covering it up by inventing the story that her best friend introduced them. O Alicia does not trust Miguel and automatically assumes everything he says is wrong. O Alicia doesn't remember the meeting accurately because she didn't encode any of the details.
