===Retrieval cues===
 
After the information is encoded and stored in our memory, specific cues are often needed to retrieve these memories. These are known as retrieval cues<ref>{{CitationCite journal |last=Frankland |first=Paul W. |last2=Josselyn |first2=Sheena A. |last3=Köhler |first3=Stefan needed|date=AprilSeptember 202024, 2019 |title=The neurobiological foundation of memory retrieval |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-019-0493-1 |journal=Nature Neuroscience |language=en |volume=22 |issue=10 |pages=1576–1585 |doi=10.1038/s41593-019-0493-1 |issn=1546-1726 |pmc=6903648 |pmid=31551594}}</ref> and they play a major role in reconstructive memory. The use of retrieval cues can both promote the accuracy of reconstructive memory as well as detract from it. The most common aspect of retrieval cues associated with reconstructive memory is the process that involves recollection. This process uses logical structures, partial memories, narratives, or clues to retrieve the desired memory.<ref>Cherry, K. (2010, June 7).

Psychology - Complete Guide to Psychology for Students, Educators & Enthusiasts.</ref> However, the process of recollection is not always successful due to [[cue-dependent forgetting]] and [[Priming (psychology)|priming]].

====Priming====
 
Priming refers to an increased sensitivity to certain stimuli due to prior experience.<ref>{{cite APA Dictionary |title=Priming |shortlink=priming |access-date=2020-04-14 }}</ref> Priming is believed to occur outside of conscious awareness, which makes it different from memory that relies on the direct retrieval of information.<ref>Cherry, K. (2009, March 26). Priming - What Is Priming. Psychology - Complete Guide to Psychology for Students, Educators & Enthusiasts.</ref> Priming can influence reconstructive memory because it can interfere with retrieval cues. Psychologist [[Elizabeth Loftus]] presented many papers concerning the effects of proactive interference on the recall of eyewitness events. Interference involving priming was established in her classic [[Reconstruction of automobile destruction|study]] with John Palmer in 1974.<ref>{{cite journal | url = https://webfiles.uci.edu/eloftus/LoftusPalmer74.pdf | last = Loftus | first = EF | author2 = Palmer JC | author-link = Elizabeth Loftus | year = 1974 | title = Reconstruction of Automobile Destruction : An Example of the Interaction Between Language and Memory | journal = Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior | volume = 13 | issue = 5 | pages = 585–9 | doi = 10.1016/S0022-5371(74)80011-3 | s2cid = 143526400 | archive-date = 2019-10-08 | access-date = 2012-03-18 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20191008011633/https://webfiles.uci.edu/eloftus/LoftusPalmer74.pdf | url-status = dead }}</ref> Loftus and Palmer recruited 150 participants and showed each of them a film of a traffic accident. After, they had the participants fill out a questionnaire concerning the video's details. The participants were split into three groups:
 
* Group A contained 50 participants that were asked: "About how fast were the cars going when they '''hit''' each other?”
