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

Lesson creator Daniel L. Schacter asks the unnerving question: ‚ÄúAre all of your memories real?” This engaging TED-Ed animation explores the fallibility of our memory. It references several studies regarding mental wellness and behavioral health, including one from the 1990s where participants shared memories of getting lost in a shopping mall as children--even though none of them had done so in real life. Through clear examples, this colorful animation shows how our memories can be influenced, and the consequences it can have on the real world.
