Bartlett

Aim: To see if unfamiliar stories stay the same when told repeatedly.
Method: Participants were told a native american ghost story and they were asked to recall it. They were then asked to recall it several times throughout the year.
Results: Each time that the story was retold participants changed the story to suit themselves specifically.
Conclusion: When we are told unfamiliar stories we change them in our minds to suit our own personality.
