Research on implanted (false) memories suggest that

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that repeatedly suggesting that something "might have" happened can implant or distort a memory, leading to false memories. It is not impossible to implant a false memory, but it is important to consider the methods used and the reliability of the source providing the memory. It is not true that all reports of childhood sexual abuse are implanted, and courts should be cautious in accepting memories recovered by licensed therapists without careful consideration of the evidence.
