Our memories shape how we think about the past, how we plan for the
future, and how we think about ourselves. Yet our memories are also
constantly being reinvented: we often remember our experiences
differently from how they truly happened, and can even remember
experiences that never happened at all. False and Distorted
Memories provides an overview of recent and ongoing developments in
the science of false memory. World-leading researchers unpick
questions about flawed recollections, discussing issues as varied
as the reliability of highly emotional memories, why we sometimes
begin to remember fictional experiences that we have deliberately
fabricated, and what happens when we stop believing our memories.
Each chapter demonstrates how memory science has furthered our
understanding of these important questions, by exploring
theoretical ideas and psychological research methods that underpin
their investigations. Edited by Robert Nash and James Ost, this
volume offers an international and up-to-date perspective on false
and distorted memories. The volume also draws attention to the
broad range of real-life contexts in which such distortions might
arise and their potential consequences. False and Distorted
Memories illustrates the ease with which memory can be contaminated
and the power of the resulting memory errors, providing an integral
text for researchers and students interested in the psychology of
memory.
