Record summary
Post-2010 work on recovered memories, imagination inflation and false-memory formation continues the “memory wars” surrounding trauma testimony, hypnosis and suggestive therapy. The lead is relevant to psi and altered-state investigation because extraordinary encounter reports often depend on retrospective reconstruction under social or therapeutic influence. Laboratory paradigms and legal reviews provide identifiable evidence about confidence, source monitoring and memory malleability. They do not imply that every recovered memory is false, but they caution against treating vividness as independent corroboration.
