Information Inflation

My doctor says my mother (who has Alzheimer’s) is experiencing something called Information Inflation. Can you explain that in plain English?

 According to studies by the National Institute of Health, individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are more susceptible to certain kinds of memory distortions as compared to healthy older adults. Imagination inflation is a specific type of memory distortion in which people are more likely to falsely remember that an item has been seen or an action has been performed when it has only been imagined in their brain or mind’s eye. For example, the individual may mistakenly believe they took their medications, turned off the stove, locked the door or any number of other actions when in reality, they have only thought about or imagined actually doing these actions.
