Memory and Suggestibility

Memory is the brain's ability to store and recall information from past experiences, while suggestibility refers to how much our memories can be influenced by external factors, like suggestions or leading questions. For example, when someone asks us about an event in a certain way, it can change how we remember it, sometimes leading us to believe details that didn’t actually happen. This interaction suggests that our memories are not always accurate and can be reshaped by new information, demonstrating how our recollections can be vulnerable to influence.
