Leveling and sharpening
open-in-new
<p>Leveling and sharpening are two functions that are automatic and exist within <a href="/facts/Memory/zucwQIEX">memory</a>. <i>Sharpening</i> is usually the way people remember small details in the retelling of stories they have experienced or are retelling those stories. <i>Leveling</i> is when people keep out parts of stories and try to tone those stories down so that some parts are excluded. Therefore, it makes it easier to fill in the memory gaps that exist. </p>
