so the recipe for creating a false
memory was always the same for every
single
participant I've gained their trust
because I've introduced this event that
they know happened that they have all
this vivid memory for quite often and so
now I give positive reinforcement and
say you did such a great job let's hope
you have as many details for the next
event so the other event which your
parents reported happening uh was when
you were 14 years old you initiated a
physical fight and the police called
your parents when you were 12 you
initiated a physical fight and the
police called your parents instead of
happen in Colona in the fall you were
with Ryan when it happened and it was
out of character what were you close to
God yeah he was my best
friendly I don't remember I don't like I
don't know what you're talking about
very OD I don't remember this taking
place at
all when a person is having trouble
remembering repeatedly thinking about an
event will usually lead to a more
complete memory for so I'd like to take
you mentally back to the scene where the
it happened and what it does is it puts
you back into your 14-year-old you and
it gives you the context for helping you
remember I'd like you to relax close
your eyes and focus your attention on
trying to retrieve this all
right so picture yourself at the age of
14 imagine what it looks like and feels
like to be there try to remember what
the weather was like remember it's fall
in Colona and you're with Ry try to
remember where you had the fight try to
remember who you were fighting try to
remember what thoughts were running
through your head try to remember how
you were feeling saying that this memory
retrieval technique works for most
people if they try hard enough that's a
subtle social pressure that actually has
quite a profound impact where you're
saying if you don't get this memory back
you just didn't try hard enough yeah I
only remember a few possibilities of
people I could have picked a fight with
who do you think it could have been
there was a bully when was this this
well I'm assuming it was in the fall
great now this is the time you think
police contct Happ
yeah that's what I'm
thinking I just felt this uncontrollable
rage everything just let loose there
was this strength this energy that I had
never felt before the cops showed up and
we were kind of having a maybe like a
ver verbal kind of fight and then it
kind of maybe got to a push mhm and then
and at that point there was kind of cops
coming they had strung themselves out of
real pieces of real places and real
people but in a in a way that just never
actually
