This is the first study to provide evidence suggesting that full episodic false memories of committing crime can be generated in a controlled experimental setting. With suggestive memory-retrieval techniques, participants were induced to generate criminal and noncriminal emotional false memories, and we compared these false memories with true memories of emotional events. After three interviews, 70% of participants were classified as having false memories of committing a crime (theft, assault, or assault with a weapon) that led to police contact in early adolescence and volunteered a detailed false account. These reported false memories of crime were similar to false memories of noncriminal events and to true memory accounts, having the same kinds of complex descriptive and multisensory components. It appears that in the context of a highly suggestive interview, people can quite readily generate rich false memories of committing crime."

It has been known for over twenty years that false memories can be implanted into welcoming subjects. The Satanic Ritual Abuse scare of the late 1980's and early 1990's is a prime example. Psychologists can convince themselves that the patient has "repressed memories" and in an effort to bring them to light, provide the patient with points of reference from which they can recall events. The problem is that if these events never took place, the points of reference (a time period, a location, a feeling) can be used to construct rather than recall, to the point where the psychologist and the patient end up in a positive-feedback loop, one's certainty pushing the other forward.
What is new about this study is that instead of psychiatric sessions where the subject expected to remember things forgotten, these interviews lacked the clinical aspect. This is important because it shows that individuals don't need a situation where they expect to be introduced to new information about themselves in order to accept such false data, all it takes is pushing the right buttons.

>>1007The false memory syndrome foundation which sprung up as a reaction to molestation accusations in the 90's is a very shady organization- I recommend you look into their leadership and administration. While false memories may be a possibility, that organization has in part worked to silence victims of actual abuse.
