L., Smeets, T., & Merckelbach, H. (2015). Can you nonbelieve it: What happens when you do not believe in your memories? In-Mind, 11. 1 Chapter 1 Humans act based on their memories. This may sound like a cliché, but the practical meaning of this is illustrated by, for example, the devastating effects of mistaken eyewitness identifications (Wells & Olson, 2003), the far-reaching consequences of innocents who falsely confess to crimes they never committed (Kassin & Gudjonsson, 2004), and the tragedy of adults who erroneously come to believe that they recovered very early memories of abuse experiences (Loftus, 1993). As for these alleged recovered memories: there was a fierce debate among psychologists, therapists, and legal professionals in the 1990s (Howe & Knott, 2015) about their authenticity, a debate that was even characterized as the “memory wars” (Patihis, Ho, Tingen, Lilienfeld, & Loftus, 2014). A recent study has shown that the memory wars have not vanished in the 21st century (Patihis & Pendergrast, in press). It took place against a background of hundreds of lawsuits by adults against their parents because of the alleged abuse memories from childhood that had been “recovered” during therapy in adulthood (Lipton, 1999). Some therapists and clinical psychologists argued that such recovered memories are essentially correct and surface after repression has been lifted due to therapeutic interventions (e.g., hypnosis, sedating drugs). Many researchers, however, contended that recovered memories might, in fact, be false memories produced by risky techniques such as hypnosis and guided imagery (Howe & Knott, 2015; Lambert & Lilienfeld, 2007). One group of individuals who are particularly interesting in this debate are those who previously claimed to have recovered a memory of a sexually abusive episode, but later retracted those claims (Ost, Costall, & Bull, 2002; Ost, 2017). Do these retractors still have “memories” of these abusive episodes? Or how do these retractors view their earlier experiences? A recent study found that some of these retractors continued to have vivid recollections of an event although they no longer believed that the event actually happened, a phenomenon named nonbelieved memory (Ost, 2017). Briefly, this phenomenon has revealed that under certain circumstances, people form memories of events but develop doubts about whether the events have actually occurred. Under these circumstances, people still report having vivid images and recollections of an event and even describe re-living the event, but they do not believe that the event actually happened. 2 General Introduction NONBELIEVED MEMORIES This nonbelieved memory phenomenon was previously assumed to be an extraordinary rare phenomenon, and not until recently has it attracted researchers’ attention (Mazzoni, Scoboria, & Harvey, 2010; Otgaar, Scoboria, & Mazzoni, 2014). Below, I will first explain the phenomenon of nonbelieved memories, what factors lead to nonbelieved memories, and describe the methods that have been used to experimentally induce them in the lab. Then, I will show how this phenomenon is relevant to theoretical constructs of memory and their possible cognitive-behavioral consequences. Recalling Being Kidnapped and Bombed, but not Believing it Memory scholars agree that in most cases, having a memory implies believing in that specific memory (Scoboria, Mazzoni, Kirsch, & Relyea, 2004). That is, we tend to believe that our recollections of certain events are true and that they actually happened. Yet for some of the events we believe in, we are unable to find associated recollections (e.g., we obviously believe that we were born although we do not have a recollection of being born). Sometimes, our long-held beliefs may be refuted by ‘clear evidence’, such as a photo displaying how an event really unfolded, which then may result in a no longer believed (i.e., nonbelieved) memory. For some time, scholars assumed that nonbelieved memories are a rare phenomenon. Anecdotal descriptions of such memories have occasionally surfaced in the literature. For example, the famous developmental psychologist Jean Piaget had a vivid memory of a man attempting to kidnap him when he was two years old. He remembered and described the event in great detail including information that the perpetrator scratched his nurse’s face (Piaget, 1951). However, not until thirteen years later, Piaget’s former nurse confessed that it was she who had fabricated the event and fed the story to him. Piaget no longer believed that he was almost kidnapped as a child, but he could not stop having vivid visualizations and images of the fabricated kidnapping, as if it had occurred. Oliver Sacks (2005) also described a vivid memory of a bomb that fell close to his home when he was a child, but later he did not believe in his memory because he learned that he was away from home at that time. 3 Chapter 1 Nonbelieved memories are fascinating, if only because the bulk of studies focusing on memory examine and measure believed memories: memories of events for which people also strongly believe that the event occurred (Scoboria, Mazzoni, Kirsch, & Relyea, 2004). This is a comprehensible situation as believed memories of events might be seen as the status quo of our memory repertoire. While various ideas about memory suggest that memories are typically believed to be true (e.g., James, 1890/1950; Brewer, 1996), it is only recently that memory researchers have started to investigate the possibility that memory might exist without accompanying belief. Are Nonbelieved Memories Really Rare? In the first systematic study looking into nonbelieved memories, the frequency and characteristics of nonbelieved memories were surveyed (Mazzoni, Scoboria,

  • Collective Memory from a Psychological Perspective
    Int J Polit Cult Soc (2009) 22:125–141 DOI 10.1007/s10767-009-9057-9 Collective Memory from a Psychological Perspective Alin Coman & Adam D. Brown & Jonathan Koppel & William Hirst Published online: 26 May 2009 # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2009 Abstract The study of collective memory has burgeoned in the last 20 years, so much so that one can even detect a growing resistance to what some view as the imperialistic march of memory studies across the social sciences (e.g., Berliner 2005;Fabian1999). Yet despite its clear advance, one area that has remained on the sidelines is psychology. On the one hand, this disinterest is surprising, since memory is of central concern to psychologists. On the other hand, the relative absence of the study of collective memory within the discipline of psychology seems to suit both psychology and other disciplines of the social sciences, for reasons that will be made clear. This paper explores how psychology might step from the sidelines and contribute meaningfully to discussions of collective memory.

  • Beyond Disinformation: Deep Fakes and False
    Beyond disinformation: deep fakes and false memory implantation Erin Morrow Emory University Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology Undergraduate [email protected] Disclosures: The author discloses their employment with the International Neuroethics Society and thus access to other contest submissions. General Audience / Neuroethics Essay Contest, 2021 Beyond disinformation: deep fakes and false memory implantation Most social media users are intimately familiar with labels on their timelines and feeds for content deemed ‘manipulated media.’ Twitter rolled out new policies last year to address photos or videos found to be “significantly and deceptively altered or fabricated” (Roth & Achuthan, 2020). The first such content to be flagged on this platform showed then-presidential candidate Joe Biden appearing to state “We can only re-elect Donald Trump.” In reality, this Kansas City speech was deceptively spliced, edited, and thus taken out of context—but by the time this post received its warning label, it had already garnered over five million views (Chambers, 2020). Yet, misleadingly cropped video is not the only form of deceptive content being popularized. Also within the jurisdiction of this new regulation is an emerging form of media: deep fakes. These artificial intelligence-generated creations, often in the form of videos that deceptively portray public figures, have emerged within the past decade as a force of disinformation to be reckoned with (Liv & Greenbaum, 2020; Resnick, 2018). Such videos can now manipulate the facial eXpressions and speech of these figures with minimal distortion (Resnick, 2018). Deep fakes of public figures have the potential to influence discourse and decision-making in the realms of politics, public health, and more through a powerful cognitive system: memory.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by LSBU Research Open False Memories and Real Epistemic Problems Steven D. Brown, University of Leicester Paula Reavey, London South Bank University Abstract The dichotomy between ‘truth’ and ‘falsity’ in relation to memory is difficult to clearly sustain. The veridicality of memory is typically established by drawing on the local, normative procedures that operate in a given setting (e.g. legal, clinical, social). Since all procedures are strictly relative, all memories are technically either ‘relatively falsified’ or ‘relatively as-yet-unfalsified’. False Memory Studies claim to be able explain the production of false memories, but do not offer criterion to effectively differentiate populations of so-called ‘true’ and ‘false’ victims. The narrative of the discovery of the ‘false memories’ themselves is inconsistent and demonstrates a significant level of imagination inflation and suggestibility to dominant narratives in post-war Psychology. In attending to the setting-specificity of memory, researchers may wish to consider how their work impacts on the experience-ecologies to which they contribute Introduction A sixteen year-old young man is convicted of participating in the brutal rape and murder of woman, along with his uncle. His conviction relies, in part, on a confession he has made during the course of questioning by police investigators. He later recants on his confession. Filmed footage of the police interviews, conducted without the presence of a lawyer or family member, appear to show the investigators guiding and shaping a narrative for the young man. At times they provide crucial details that they ask him to confirm.

  • Toward a Psychology of Memory Accuracy
    Annu. Rev. Psychol. 2000. 51:481±537 Copyright q 2000 by Annual Reviews. All rights reserved TOWARD A PSYCHOLOGY OF MEMORY ACCURACY Asher Koriat, Morris Goldsmith, and Ainat Pansky Department of Psychology, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel, 31905; e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Key Words memory correspondence, false memory, memory distortion, memory illusions, memory metaphors Abstract There has been unprecedented interest in recent years in questions pertaining to accuracy and distortion in memory. This interest, catalyzed in part by real-life problems, marks a signi®cant departure from the quantity-oriented approach that has characterized much of traditional memory research. We outline a correspon- dence metaphor of memory underlying accuracy-oriented research, and show how the features of this metaphor are manifested across the disparate bodies of research reviewed here. These include work in the Gestalt tradition, spatial memory, memory for gist, schema theory, source monitoring, ¯uency misattributions, false recall and recognition, postevent misinformation, false memories, eyewitness research, and auto- biographical memory. In examining the dynamics of memory accuracy, we highlight the importance of metacognitive monitoring and control processes. We end by dis- cussing some of the methodological, theoretical, and metatheoretical issues inherent in accuracy-oriented research, attempting to prepare the groundwork for a more coher- ent psychology of memory accuracy.
