Memory: The Unreliable Storyteller
Discover why our memories aren't recordings but reconstructions that change each time we recall them, explaining why eyewitnesses can be confidently wrong and how this brain quirk shapes our perception of reality.
Melhor citação de Memory: The Unreliable Storyteller
Memory isn't just an archive of the past—it's a reconstruction that our brain pieces together each time we recall it. This means our memories are less like historical documents and more like living stories that evolve over time.
