Câu trả lời mẫu cho câu hỏi: Can people rely on their memory when recalling events from the past?
Well, I wouldn’t say they can as experts say that human memory isn’t as consistent as people would like to believe. People are often guilty of changing the facts and adding false details to their memories without even realizing. What’s more, each time they remember something, they are reconstructing the event, reassembling it from traces throughout the brain. Oh, and it’s also quite common for people to suppress memories that are painful or damaging to self-esteem. To sum up, human memory is adaptive, reshaping itself to accommodate the new situations people find themselves facing, so it’s just probably not a good idea to rely on it 100%.
