Your Memory Is Lying to You - The False Memory Experiment

Описание: In the 1990s, psychologist Elizabeth Loftus revealed one of the most disturbing discoveries in modern psychology: your brain can create vivid, emotional memories of events that never happened. Not through trauma. Not through hypnosis. Just through suggestion.

In controlled studies, about one in four people formed a full false memory of getting lost in a shopping mall as a child. They could describe the stranger who “helped” them, the stores around them, even the smell of the air. None of it was real.

In this video, you’ll discover:
• How the “Lost in the Mall” experiment created memories from nothing
• Why your brain edits memories every time you recall them
• The mechanisms behind false memories: implantation, suggestibility and source confusion
• How family stories, photos and repetition reshape your past
• Why AI images, deepfake videos and chatbots are accelerating false memory formation today

Memory feels like proof — but memory isn’t proof.
It’s a draft your brain rewrites constantly.

This matters now more than ever.
Studies show that AI-generated details can double or triple the rate of false recollections in simulated witness interviews. And as deepfakes become more realistic, even confident eyewitnesses struggle to separate memory from manipulation.

Your past may not be as solid as you think.
And the moments you trust most might be the ones your brain invented.
