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.
