Voice-over: It's time for Science or Fiction.
Theme: Memory
Item #1: In a 2015 study researchers were able to generate rich false memories of subjects having committed a crime in 70% of cases with just suggestive interviews.[6]
Item #2: A recent study finds that subjects were no better than chance at identifying false memories from true memories in others.[7]
Item #3: Infantile or childhood amnesia, the inability of adults to remember events prior to about 3 years of age, has been linked to the relative underdevelopment of language.[8]
