/ 100
Mostly True
The text discusses how recalling a past event involves remembering the last time it was remembered, and how brain networks change during this process, potentially altering the memory.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (64/100).
The claims about memory recall and alteration are supported by evidence indicating that memory is a reconstructive process. The first claim, that recalling a past event involves remembering the last time it was remembered, is supported by multiple sources, though they are not highly authoritative. The second claim, that brain networks change during memory recall, is supported by scientific sources explaining neuroplasticity and memory reconstruction. Both claims are consistent with current scientific understanding of memory processes.
