より豊かに過ごす〜記憶の上書き(3)

精緻化

(English follows)
真実がどちらもで構わないのだが、「悔しい」とか「悲しい」ではなく、「恥ずかしい」と感じたこと、突然このことを思い出したことが不思議だった。とりあえず深く考えず、自分が少しだけ精神的に成長したと捉えることにした。過去に観た映画の特定のシーン（意味的記憶）と、自分の過去の出来事（エピソード記憶）とが、ふとしたきっかけで結びつくことを、精緻化（Elaboration）というのだそうだが、今回の体験はまさにそれだった。
精緻化によって記憶の内容がより豊かになった（視野が広がったことがわかった）わけだが、、、うーん、要らない体験だったな。

For fulfilling life~Memory Overwrite (3)

Elaboration

I don’t really care which explanation was true, but what puzzled me was that I didn’t feel angry or sad—I felt embarrassed. And it was strange that this memory suddenly came back to me after all this time.
For now, I decided not to overthink it and to take it as a sign that I’ve grown a little, emotionally.
It says that when a specific scene e.g. from a movie you once watched (Semantic memory) suddenly connects with an event from your own past (Episodic memory), the process is called “Elaboration.”
And that was exactly what happened to me this time.
Through elaboration, the content of my memory became richer—I realized my perspective had broadened.
But… honestly, it was an experience I could have done without.
