Loftus has shown that many times, we can convince someone that he or she
remembers something that never really happened. When researching this topic,
some questions to consider in your response may include:
What
contributes to memories being altered, reinforced, and manipulated? What
factors contribute to false/poor memory recall, decay, forgetting (name at
least three things and discuss their role)? Explain the capacity and accuracy
of memories and what limitations (if any) our memory has. What are the 3
components of memory and information processing (define and explain their
functioning)?
