We all know that memory is fickle. We have all heard about people falsely convicted based on eye-witness testimony. Any attorney who has tried a case with witnesses knows that what one remembers and what actually happens do not always coincide.
This fascinating article from the New York Times tells us more about how this works and how our memory plays tricks on us. I found it fascinating. I hope you do too. I plan to keep a copy for future reference.
