A psychologist at the University of California, Irvine, is investigating the phenomena of false (or implanted) memories. False memories are events that never existed. Instead they are suggestions or stories implanted in such a pervasive and elaborate way that the person believes that they are a real memory. She is collecting evidence on false memories. She collects the data in the following way: (1) She recruits people for a study and for each participant plants a memory. She spins an elaborate lie about a traumatic trip to a shopping mall where they got lost, before being rescued by a kind elderly woman and reunited with their parents. To make the event more plausible, she ropes in their families. She told the participants "we've talked to your mother, your mother has told us this happened to you." Nearly a third of the participants fell for it, with some recalling the event in vivid detail. (2) She randomly samples 400 people and asks whether they believe some of their childhood memories are "false memories". (3) The psychologist's recalls as a child getting lost in a forest. Her mother convinces her that her father left her in the forest by herself. Years later her other relatives explain that her mother had told her this after her parents had divorced and that it was not true (her father was in a different country at the time).
