@doctor.j.1: How reliable are your memories? Back in the 1970s, psychologist Elizabeth Loftus demonstrated that simply changing the wording of a question or introducing misleading information could alter what people reported remembering. Nearly 50 years later, researchers found that AI-generated descriptions can produce a similar effect. It’s called the misinformation effect, and it reveals something unsettling about human memory: we don’t simply replay the past. We reconstruct it, sometimes incorporating details that were never there. You can be absolutely convinced you remember something—and still be wrong. #Psychology #FalseMemories #MisinformationEffect #Neuroscience #HumanBehavior
