Normal false memory
View through CrossRef
Is it possible to be completely convinced about a memory and yet to err? Yes, it is! Human memory is dynamic and at times falls victim to its own associative power. This chapter examines under what conditions healthy subjects may succumb to false memories and how children differ from adults in their susceptibility to false memory. It looks at how reliable apparently crystal-clear memories called flashbulb memories really are. Under certain conditions, it is even possible to implant entirely invented memories, a notion particularly pertinent in the realm of eyewitness testimony. Normal false memory appears to have different mechanisms than pathological confabulation.
