False memory

How does MEMORY works?

Many people believe that memory works like a recording device but actually it works more like a Wikipedia page: You can go in there and change it, but so can other people.

What is false memory?

• A condition in which a person’s identity and interpersonal relationships are based on a memory of a traumatic experience which is actually false, but in which the person is strongly convinced.
• Basically a memory that is never experienced but is described to the individual and fabricated in such a way that it seems real to that person.
