الذكريات المزيفة : مراجعة للأدبيات العلمية

Abstract EN

Human memory serves us well ; however, it is susceptible to errors.

false memory is the phenomenon in which a person remembers something that can be based on misremembering of a real event, or a confabulation of a fake event.

false memories can have significant consequences, they can lead to distorted perceptions of past events, cause confusion and anxiety, and even lead to wrongful convictions.

in this paper I review the specific meaning of false memory, and its main theories.

I also present the main methods that are used to study it and its possible underling mechanisms that have been suggested in the relative literature.

future studies in this topic should aim to understand the factors that are known to influence the creation of false memory which can help to minimize the impact of false memories and improve the accuracy of memory.
