The use of different types of partial temporal information is shown to affect dating accuracy and the distribution of errors in event dating. Several different types of partial temporal information are discussed, but three are highlighted by the data. Specifically, subjects' dating error patterns suggest that they (1) use different types of within-week information, (2) use recalled event sequences, and (3) use boundary landmarks to report the dates of events. In general, these data suggest that although precise temporal information is sometimes represented in the memory trace for an event, more often the date-related information is inferred from other aspects of memory.
研究表明，使用不同类型的部分时间信息会影响约会准确性以及事件日期确定中误差的分布。本文讨论了几种不同类型的部分时间信息，但数据突出了其中三种。具体而言，受试者的日期确定误差模式表明他们：（1）使用不同类型的周内信息；（2）使用回忆起的事件顺序；（3）使用边界地标来报告事件日期。总体而言，这些数据表明，尽管精确的时间信息有时会在事件的记忆痕迹中体现，但与日期相关的信息更多时候是从记忆的其他方面推断出来的。
