Access to information
When we can all retrieve the same information, the key differentiator is not access to data, but the ability to make use of it, the capacity to translate the available information into useful knowledge.
How To Handle Incorrect Recall
We often jumble up the information, a common error known as misattribution, when we recognize someone incorrectly or swap pieces of information.
