The Science of False Memory

C. J. Brainerd and V. F. Reyna

Abstract

This book encompasses and weaves together the common threads of the four major topics that comprise the core of false memory research: theories of false memory, adult experimental psychology of false memory, false memory in legal contexts, and false memory in psychotherapy. By integrating material on all four of these topics, the book provides a comprehensive picture of our current understanding of human false memory.

Keywords: theories of false memory, adult experimental psychology, psychotherapy, law, human memory
