Elizabeth Loftus : How reliable is your memory?


Elizabeth Loftus at TEDGlobal 2013  (transcript)
How reliable is your memory?
Summary
Please read and correct this, it’s looked to run off the main subject, though.

The speaker is a psychologist who studies memories that is especially false memories. It’s different to study when people forget.

And then her last words are really soft, it’s that she tells us that we should all keep in mind that our memory is a fragile thing like liberty, though, it’s very dangerous.

Our memories are strongly influenced by even planting false memories but we can’t reliably distinguish true memories from false memories. We need independent corroboration.

How reliable is your memory?

The speaker’s suggestion is to have a discovery that we can’t reliably distinguish true memories from false memories and to be tolerant of everyday memory mistakes.

The story is the end here, though, l can’t be tolerant of Japanese histories.
About some wars, the world believes that Japan did wrong things. Especially, Korean people even now learn that Japanese is an enemy that is really bad. It’s planted for a long time.
Japan is the country that has helped many countries when they were independent, some Japanese continued issuing their visas when citizens flee from wars, and Japan donates many developing countries.

I hope that independent corroboration that people learn the world histories has really efficiency to understand false memories.
