Reconstructive Memory is a theory of elaborate memory [[Recall (memory)|recall]] proposed within the field of [[Cognitive Psychology]], in which the act of remembering is influenced by and dependent on various other cognitive processes including [[Perception]], [[Imagination]], [[Semantic memory]] and [[Beliefs]], amongst others. One of the basic assumptions of this theory was adequately summarized by [[Sir Frederick Bartlett]] <ref>[http://www-pmhs.stjohns.k12.fl.us/teachers/higginj/S0DBE8052-0DBF1D11.7/Remembering,%20Bartlett%20(1932).pdf "Frederick Bartlett", Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology, February 21, 2011]</ref>, who suggested that memory is encoded and organized according to the specific historical and cultural contexts present at [[Encoding (memory)|Encoding]]. Theses frameworks are referred to by Bartlett as [[Schema (psychology)|Schema]].
