TED-Ed: Are all of your memories real? | Daniel L. Schacter

The transcript discusses various studies highlighting the fallibility of human memory. It covers how false memories can be created through suggestibility, how misattribution can lead to incorrect recollections, and how current opinions can bias past memories. The text also explores how knowledge of outcomes can alter memory perception and the real-world implications of these memory errors in legal and medical settings. The overarching theme is that memories are subjective and not always reliable representations of reality.
