CONT

La théorie des traces floues. [Les auteurs] développent depuis plusieurs années une théorie de la mémoire selon laquelle les expériences sont stockées en parallèle sous deux formes : les traces représentant les détails des évènements [...] et les traces représentant leur sens général [...] Cette théorie expliquerait de nombreux phénomènes liés aux faux souvenirs.
