<P> Presuppositions are an implication through chosen language . If a person is asked, "What shade of blue was the wallet?" The questioner is, in translation, saying, "The wallet was blue . What shade was it?" The question's phrasing provides the respondent with a supposed "fact". This presupposition provides two separate effects: true effect and false effect . </P> <P> True effect says that the object implied to have existed does exist . With that, the respondent's recall is strengthened, more readily available, and easier to extrapolate from . In true effect, presuppositions make a detail more readily recalled . For example, it would be less likely that a respondent would remember a wallet was blue if the prompt did not say that it was blue . False effect is that the object implied to have existed never was present . Despite this, the respondent is convinced otherwise and allows it to manipulate their memory . It can also alter responses to later questions to keep consistency . Regardless of the effect being true or false, the respondent is attempting to conform to the supplied information, because they assume it to be true . </P> <P> Construction hypothesis has major implications for explanations on the malleability of memory . Upon asking a respondent a question that provides a presupposition, the respondent will provide a recall in accordance with the presupposition (if accepted to exist in the first place). The respondent will recall the object or detail . The construction hypothesis says that if a true piece of information being provided can alter a respondent's answer, then so can a false piece of information . </P> <P> Loftus developed the skeleton theory after having run an experiment involving 150 subjects from the University of Washington . The skeleton theory explains the idea of how a memory is recalled, which is split into two categories: the acquisition processes and the retrieval processes . </P>

Of all the types of long-term memories which type appears to be the most fragile
