However, memory does not really work this way. Not only can information be lost over time (forgetting), but memory is also subject to a number of distortions, and people may even "remember" things that never happened. This course will survey a variety of things that can go wrong with memory, and investigate the mechanisms for memory loss and distortion. Topics will range from simple kinds of memory distortions that can be induced in the laboratory, to more complex cases such as false memory for childhood trauma, alien abduction "memories", and memory problems such as confabulation that can result from brain damage.
