 If the simulation theory is right, both of the aspects of mnemicity identified above may require rethinking. Regarding the first aspect, Robins (2016a) has argued that, whereas the causal theory can appeal to the existence of an appropriate causal connection in order to distinguish among successful remembering, confabulating, and misremembering, the simulation theory may not be able to accommodate these distinctions, since it views both successful and unsuccessful remembering as resulting from the same imaginative process. The simulation theory can, however, appeal to the reliability of the imaginative process in question, characterizing successful remembering as involving reliable imagination resulting in an accurate representation of the event, confabulation as involving unreliable imagination resulting in an inaccurate representation, and misremembering as involving reliable imagination resulting in an inaccurate representation (Michaelian 2016b). This approach to memory errors has the advantage of making room for veridical confabulation, which can be characterized as involving unreliable imagination resulting in an accurate representation,
