You Cannot Trust What You Believe

[downbeatplumb]

The more you post the less I believe your first posting, now to the OP. Didn't you find it relevant to show the process these people went through. Ever see a police interrogation that pressures people to the extreme not allowing them to sleep, not allowing smokers to have a cig and denying them other things needed to keep their thoughts straight. Brainwashed. I've never seen this type of treatment of Christians, I've seen things that are questionable but, nothing like high pressure interrogation.

You seem to think that false memories are just during interogations they are not.

There was a terrorist bombing in Paris when my wife and I were on honeymoon there.
My wife is convinced that she heard it when we where at a Metro station.
If fact we had no idea it had a happened till we got home and watched the news. She has inserted in to her memory all by herself.

In 1973 Loftus accepted an assistant professorship at the University of Washington and used the new position to begin a new line of research into how memory works in real-world settings,[3][7][10] beginning the empirical study of eyewitness testimony.[8] One of the first studies she conducted was the reconstruction of automobile destruction study,[10] in which she found that the way in which questions were worded altered the memories subjects reported.[5][10] Loftus’ next step was to investigate whether asking leading questions, or providing misleading information in other forms, might also affect people’s memory for the original event.[5] To answer this question she developed the misinformation effect paradigm, which demonstrated that the memories of eyewitnesses are altered after being exposed to incorrect information about an event and that memory is highly malleable and open to suggestion.[5][8][11] The misinformation effect became one of the most influential and widely known effects in psychology,[5] and Loftus’ early work on the effect generated hundreds of follow-up studies examining factors that improve or worsen the accuracy of memories, and to explored the cognitive mechanisms underlying the effect.[5][8]
