memory recollection fragmentation

Only being able to remember particular fragments of memories or ideas from an earlier time where the context of such memories are no longer recoverable.

flawed recollection

flawed recollection. When you reference something from your past memory,

& discover in the future,
that what you distinctly recollect,

is now,
somehow,

a very different set of occurrences.

AKA inaccurate recall
