You Can’t Always Tell If a Memory Is Real
Memory is not a recording device—it’s a reconstruction machine.
🧠 Your brain pieces together bits of sensory info, emotion, and even suggestion to “build” memories. This means people can develop totally false memories, especially if influenced by others or strong emotions.
👉 Psychologists have even implanted false memories of entire events in lab studies—like meeting Bugs Bunny at Disneyland (which is impossible since he’s Warner Bros).
