We have seen it with our own eyes and can remember it clearly: the accident or the first day of school. The traffic light was green and the school cone was blue. We can recall the images from our memory like from a timeless archive and generally trust our memory. But there are photos that show a red traffic light and a green school cone. Such false memories are presented by memory researchers Sina Kühnel and Hans J. Markowitsch in their fascinating non-fiction book as evidence that reveals surprising aspects of our memory, which is constantly changing due to new experiences, learning, and sometimes simply by reflecting on our memories. The sins of memory – from forgetting to reinterpreting events – are the subject of this non-fiction book by Sina Kühnel and Hans Markowitsch, who use false memories to explain how memory functions.
