📝 A new study led by Associate Professor @ciaragreene.bsky.social of UCD School of Psychology, published in Scientific Reports, provides compelling empirical evidence that both complainants and defendants in sexual assault cases are equally prone to memory distortions.

Great review of Memory Lane by @ciaragreene.bsky.social and @gillian-murphy.bsky.social in @aunz.theconversation.com - thank you Nick Haslam! Read it here:
Our memories are unreliable, limited and suggestible – and it’s a good thing too
Memories are constantly revised in acts of recollection. They are moulded by new information, beliefs and emotions, and other people’s versions of events.

In their new book Memory Lane, @ciaragreene.bsky.social and @gillian-murphy.bsky.social “skillfully unpack how the human mind achieves [the] miraculous balancing act of remembering and forgetting,” writes Julian Baggini for @wsj.com: www.wsj.com/arts-culture...
‘Memory Lane’ Review: Remember to Forget
The ability to recollect experiences and information is a fundamental function of the brain. The task of assembling the memories we keep means throwing away others.
