Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pseudomemories are false memories that feel real to the individual, and can be inadvertently created when hypnosis is used to aid recall. While hypnosis can sometimes help people access repressed memories, it can also lead to the creation of false memories. It is important to approach the use of hypnosis carefully and with a critical eye to prevent the creation of pseudomemories.
