💭 REMEMBERING , FORGETING & THE SCIENCE OF " FALSE MEMORY"   💭       False memory refers to cases in which people remember events differently from the way they happened or, in the most dramatic case, remember events that never happened atall.      You believe it is real, but it is not.            Most false memories aren’t malicious or even intentionally hurtful. They’re shifts or reconstructions of memory that don’t align with the true events.      However, some false memories can have significant consequences, including in court or legal settings where false memories may convict someone wrongfully. 💭 What causes false memory ? How are false memories formed ?       Factors influencing false memory are misinformation and misattribution of the original source of information. Existing knowledge and other memories can also interfere with the formation of a new memory, causing the recollection  of an event to be mistaken, or entirely false.
