A false memory once created, it is difficult to eliminate from individual’s thoughts. In the article “Creating False Memory” by Elizabeth Loftus, Nadean Cool believed that she had been enrolled in a satanic cult that brought several false memories (Loftus 71). Once created, false memory becomes part and parcel of someone’s thoughts. According to Loftus, false memory is invented to explain minor situations. For instance, an uncomfortable feeling when meeting with family members at family reunions. Perhaps, the uncomfortable feeling is caused by something a family member did when in the real sense; nobody did anything (Rosen et al.

Eric Reynolds is a fifty-six year old African American Vietnam veteran and plumber. He is presenting symptoms of recurring negative intrusive memories of traumatic moments in combat; avoidance of triggering factors, such as crowds, sudden movement, and unprovoked or unexpected touching; negative thoughts and emotions, primarily involuntary aggression and self-imposed isolation; heightened arousal when triggered; insomnia as a result of recurring nightmares; hypervigilance; and pressured speech when discussing traumatic content but otherwise remained articulate.

The symptoms persisted after reintroduction to civilian life and remained chronic.
Krabs, a character in the animated television series Spongebob Squarepants, to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Mr. Krabs shows OCD in a lot of episodes when he is continuously counting his money at the Krusty Krab. He will sit in his office and count the coins and the dollar bills repetitively. Mr. Krabs values money more than anything, even over himself, and will get angry when someone steals his money. He is always cheap when it comes to his daughter, Pearl, and two of his employees, Spongebob and Squidward, because they get paid low and won’t make a scene about it. For example, when Pearl is celebrating her sixteenth birthday party and she wanted to have the best birthday she ever had, Mr. Krab sent Spongebob to spy on Pearl and see what she wants as her perfect birthday present. While Pearl was shopping with her friends, Mr. Krab saved all of Pearl’s old childish decorations, made cake out of cardboard, and hired Squidward to perform songs from the band Boys Who Cry because Mr. Krab is cheap. Since Mr Krab was cheap, Pearl felt that he didn’t care about her enough. Surprisingly at the end, Spongebob was able to get everything that Pearl wanted from the mall and got Boys Who Cry to perform live for her but it did cost Mr. Krab’s credit card a lot of money which made him
Regarding the film Zootopia, there are several social psychological concepts that were explained in the events. Throughout the film, subtle but offensive comments and actions are unintentionally and unconsciously directed toward the non-dominant group (predators) and the protagonist of the film, Judy Hopps, encounters those macroaggressions throughout the story. As the film progressed, the police force became increasingly fearful and pejorative of the predator group in the city, which drew similarities to the attitudes exhibited by law enforcement officers in American society. Attitudes provide an association between a concept and an evaluation, whether it is favorable or unfavorable, desirable or undesirable, positive or negative. In addition, attitudes can be classified as automatic or deliberate. In comparison to the reflective responses (also called explicit attitudes) that individuals exhibit, the (automatic) implicit attitudes are relatively inaccessible to control and conscious awareness.
False memories are an apparent recollection of an event that did not actually occur. The reason why false memories happen are due to the fact that one's brains can only handle so much.There has been several experiment pertaining to the phenomenon, to find how it works.In the next part of the experiment the psychologist showed the participants a word list.False memories are very common and can happen to anyone. On very rare occasions false memories can be harmful to someone and the people around them.False memories are so common that they affect all of a person's memories. False memories can be made more clear by others memories or they could become more distorted. False memories have caused many wrongful convictions. A psychologist
False memory, second to forgetting, is one of the two fundamental types of deformation in episodic memory (Holliday, Brainerd & Reyna, 2010). Simply stated, false memory is the propensity to account normal occurrences as being a fraction of a key experience that in actuality was not an element of that experience (Holliday, Brainerd & Reyna). False memories are something nearly everyone experience. Furthermore, false memory is defined as placed together, constructed representations of mental schemas that are incorrect (Solso, MacLin & MacLin, 2008). Individuals do not intentionally fabricate their memory. However, perceptual and social factors are a few things that a responsible for manipulating memory (Solso, MacLin & MacLin, 2008).
On the other hand, a person considered mentally insane may not have control of his/her own conscience and thus cannot discern between reality and imagination, resulting in destructive behavior. The skill of visualizing concepts and ideas foreign to the normal mind also resides in an insane person; however, this ability exists as a result of losing touch with reality (Griffith 627; Neihart).
False memories include distorting features of events and situations or recalling facts and memories that never occurred at all (Roediger and McDermott, 1995).
Memory does not work like a video camera, smoothly recording every detail. Instead, memory is more of a constructive process. We remember the details that we find most important and relevant. Due to the reconstructive nature of memory, the assimilation of old and new information has the ability to cause vulnerable memories to become distorted. This is also known as the misinformation effect (Loftus, 1997). It is not uncommon for individuals to fill in memory gaps with what they assume they must have experienced. We not only distort memories for events that we have observed, but, we may also have false memories for events that never occurred at all. False memories are “often created by combing actual memories with suggestions received from
Joyce Byers is one of the main leading characters in “Stranger things.” She is the mother of two boys Will and Jonathan. They live in a small town called Hawkins, Indiana. To start off the show, Joyce seems to be a mother who is burning the candle at both ends. She seems as though she is working all the time and does not have time for her boys. One night, Will’s older brother Jonathan does not make sure he is home because he thought that his mother did. Then of course Will is not there in the morning when his mother tries to get him up for school and they can not find him.
