Frederic Charles Bartlett (Frederic Charles Bartlett) was an outstanding English psychologist and one of the key figures in the development of cognitive psychology.
Bartlett's important contribution to psychology was his work in the field of memory. He developed a constructive approach to the study of memory, which implied that human memory is not a mechanical reproduction of past events, but an active process in which information is interpreted and processed in accordance with a person's own ideas and expectations.
He conducted experiments in which participants had to memorize texts and stories and then reproduce them after a certain period of time. Bartlett found that participants tended to reinterpret and reconstruct information to make it more consistent with their own expectations and ideas.
