For example, in recalling painful experiences, people place greater emphasis on the most discomforting moments as well as the end of the event, as opposed to taking into account the overall duration.[13] Retroactive reports often conflict with present-moment reports of events, further pointing to contradictions between the actual emotions experienced during an event and the memory of them.[3] In addition to producing errors in forecasts about the future, this discrepancy has incited economists to redefine different types of utility and happiness[13] (see section on economics).	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8903.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8903.txt
