Memory Manipulation

Memory manipulation refers to the processes by which memories can be altered, enhanced, or even created. This can happen through various means, such as psychological techniques, suggestion, or external influences like media. In some cases, it involves changing how a person recalls an event, potentially leading to false memories. In psychology and cognitive science, understanding memory manipulation helps researchers learn how memories form and change, which has implications for therapy, eyewitness testimony, and even personal identity. It underscores the complexity and fallibility of human memory and how it can be shaped by experiences and information.
