- Can we really trust our own memory? Research has shown that 40% of people have a first memory that is fictional - we regularly contort our own pasts, but what if someone else could? Is it possible to implant fake memories? And what does this mean for the world of crime and court trials?

I realise that my oldest memories are damaged/changed each time I recall them, thereby reinforcing the errors, gaps I've filled in over time now knowing/interpreting more about the event or image.
Watching my mother age it's also apparent her memories are largely remembered with her own wishes. She wishes them to be GOOD memiries, and they are, now. I and my siblings have diffrent memories of the same events and they corrilate better than my mothers.
Does anyone actually have memories clean enough that they 100% trust them? That seems odd to me.
I have a few childhood memories which I trust completely. I remember retelling them. I remember where I first had sex. I remember some of the places I lived in, in the ten years I lived in Scotland, as an adult. None of these are videos, they're like still photos.
@@krista2216 seriously 😂😂😂😂
Yes, I do. I also remember my dreams from years ago, and relive them years later, and I can purposely make changes to them if needed (While asleep) then, as I grow as a person and they may serve no further requirement to my waking life, and thus are not revisited.
So, did any of these people being researched have a strong long term memory like myself? Is there a difference between long term and short term memory being 'stored'?
I remember because I was emotionally abused.
I'm 73-years of age and still mentally very active. Over the past few years, and particularly since I retired two years ago, i find I experience quite a lot of unbidden memories - several per day. I don't find this to be unpleasant, rather quite entertaining often as not.
Most of us can't even remember a typical DVD or Any Presented Movie that has not been seen in a few months perhaps even 2 weeks later. But Movies that are seen several times a week or more often during our lives, tends to get easier to remember more details. but not all of it. I've seen the movie: The Wizard Of Oz, so many times, that I can almost see lots of it in my head. Everyone has a certain movie we love to see over and over.
Is that why people with Aphantasia seem to have more accurate memories?
There were no shopping malls when I was a child. lol

Life was like a box of chocolates
Funny enough this kinda makes sense in this context

If I don't trust my memory then I struggle to function in society. It's worked-out ok so far so I think I'll carry on doing just that.
💯
As someone with Hyperthymesia, I can ONLY trust my memory.
Perfectly preserved?? Lmao what

This lady has defended some pretty bad people in the past. Maxwell, Weinstein, Michael Jackson..
The question is, do you trust her more than your memories.
Her and the science of this are right. People have defense teams for a reason and they are required to do all they can in that position. It’s not how they feel about the person
@@This-Is-My-Little-Corner An expert is not the "defense team".
They aren't lawyers and can pick and choose their cases.
She chose those ones...
@@HouseholdDog An expert is absolutely part of the defense team and is paid like the lawyers to be. She knows what she's talking about. If you don't like her - then do your own research on this subject. You'll find plenty that it's factual and you might even someone you can palate telling you.
@@This-Is-My-Little-Corner Experts are meant to be impartial.
The defence team can call them, but they, in theory, should be impartial at all times.
In the Depp case much was made of this when Depp bought dinner for one of the experts.
The reason? It was an attack on her impartiality.
@@HouseholdDog Yes, and I agree. What my point was, just because an expert is called on to speak on a horrible person, doesn't make their point invalid.
And people believe everything they hear on UA-cam? Interesting...
From experts in the field being discussed? Hopefully yes.
