Fuzzy-trace theory is a psychological framework developed to explain how people process information and make decisions. It was introduced primarily by psychologists Henry L. Roediger III and Patricia A. G. H. Brainerd in the 1990s. The theory posits that individuals create mental representations of experiences in two distinct ways: in a precise manner (verbatim) and in a more generalized or fuzzy manner (gist).
