本文挪用胡塞爾和呂格爾的現象學，說明記憶構造的本質結構。虛構記憶創造是記憶構造的其中一種類。虛構記憶創造同樣是一個涉及想像活動和回憶活動的過程。虛構記憶創造的「虛構」在於，在記憶構造過程中，想像活動取代了回憶活動。想像內容被構造成記憶內容，並且缺乏與過去事件的因果關係。透過梳理虛構記憶創造和記憶構造的本質結構，進而論證「因果理論」與「認知理論」，及「想像理論」與「時間理論」這幾個理論都各執片面之辭，僅觸及虛構記憶創造和記憶構造整個過程中局部的環節。

This paper draws resources from Husserl and Ricoeur's phenomenology to explain the eidetic structure of memory construction. Confabulation is a kind of memory construction, which is a process consisting of the moment of imagination and the moment of remembering. Throughout the process of confabulation, the act of imagination supersedes the act of remembering. The imagined is constituted as the remembered, thereby it has no temporal relationship with the past. By means of the eidetic structure of confabulation and memory construction, I argue that the causal theory of mnemonic confabulation and the epistemic of mnemonic confabulation as well as the imagination theory and the temporality theory discuss only a moment of the whole process.
