Can we induce false memory
People often think of memory as something like a video recorder which documents and stores everything that happens around us. The truth is memories are subject to change. Through this project you will be able to collect the knowledge of creating, following and organizing a social psychology experiment. Furthermore, you will learn that false memory can be advantageous because they reflect the activation of concepts and ideas related to an earlier experience, which can aid future problem solving. We will learn how innocent mistakes of recognition might help us understand the larger and more dramatic impact of false memories.
