] "We can easily distort memories for the details of an ] event that you did experience," says Loftus. "And we ] can also go so far as to plant entirely false memories ] - we call them rich false memories because they are so ] detailed and so big." I read the book that was coauthored by Elizabeth Loftus "The Myth of Repressed Memory" in my Science vrs Pseudoscience philosophy class that I took in college. I must say, it was a pretty interesting, as well as disturbing book to read. While reading it, you begin to wonder if your memories are really correct or not - and I recommend the book if you are interested in the subject, although the focus is on people "remembering" sexual abuse.
