This phenomenon is known as "reconstruction" in memory research, where people tend to remember events and attitudes in a way that aligns with their current beliefs and values. This is due to the influence of current knowledge and experiences on memory retrieval and reconstruction. Proactive interference, anterograde amnesia, and positive transfer are not relevant to this phenomenon.
