The recoded engram is the episodic memory
that is created by the process of recoding. The recoded engram combines
the information from the original engram with information from the interpolated
event to produce a new long-term episodic memory. Note that the observer
may not be able to differentiate between the original engram and the recoded
engram. Inaccurate or misleading information from an interpolated
event can become part of the recoded engram and the observer cannot differentiate
between portions of the engram that are "real" and those that are created
through the process of recoding. There are many cases where therapy
has led to the creation of "false memories". Unfortunately for the
observer, the false memories are real to them.
