Quizplus · Accepted Answer

False fame refers to the phenomenon where individuals are more likely to incorrectly identify famous names as belonging to people they have previously met, leading to a false sense of familiarity. This suggests that memory judgments are often based on feelings of familiarity rather than a conscious recollection of some event or extensive memory searches. Additionally, there is a lot of research suggesting that increased neurological connections between the LGN and the hippocampus are related to attentional processing and visual memory, but this is not directly related to false fame.
