CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -false memory syndrome, also called recovered memory, pseudomemory, and memory distortion, the experience, usually in the context of adult psychotherapy, of seeming to remember events that never actually occurred.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mind can encode inaccurate information and overlook some details of the event. While remembering, the mind may fill in the gaps by forming memories of things that actually did not occur. Recounting old memories gets more complicated because our mind can use new information to fill in the gaps.

Detailed explanation-3: -False memories can happen to anyone. Some people may be more likely to experience them. The good news is most false memories are harmless and may even produce some laughs when your story conflicts with someone else’s memory of it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Our brains will fill in the gaps in our information to make it make sense in a process called confabulation. Through this, we can remember details that never happened because they help our memory make better sense.

Detailed explanation-5: -False memory refers to cases in which people remember events differently from the way they happened or, in the most dramatic case, remember events that never happened at all. False memories can be very vivid and held with high confidence, and it can be difficult to convince someone that the memory in question is wrong.
