False memories | Psychology homework help

Introduction

In the video, Elizabeth Loftus discussed the ramifications of false memories like faulty eye witness testimony, repressed memories, and suggestibility. An underlying theme with those issues stems from our cognitive abilities – when we are confronted with a question that we cannot answer, especially as it is related to a previous experience, our brain works hard to manage the chaos associated with the unknown and sifts through all that we know in order to fill in the gaps and find a suitable answer, at the risk of being inaccurate or sometimes flat out wrong.
