Is memory a notebook of memories? Can the memory be changed?
In a study conducted in the 1970s, volunteers were shown crash footage and asked how fast the vehicle was going in these crash footage. However, when they ask the question "What do you think the speed of the vehicle was after this small collision?", they state that they were at low speed. However, when the question is asked as "What do you think the speed of the vehicle was in this terrible accident?", it is stated that the speed estimates are quite high and even the windows were broken. However, such an image does not exist in reality.

Another experiment: They tortured a group of soldiers for 30 minutes and were asked who the torturer was by showing a picture. When the question was asked with guidance, it was revealed that the soldiers could not correctly choose the person who tortured them. Going back to the Titus case, while the victim was not clearly sure at the beginning, he stated in court that Titus was definitely the culprit. Could the victim have been directed by the police? With the help of the detective hired by Titus, he was released by proving with witnesses that he was actually innocent and that he could not have been in the area where the crime occurred at the time the crime was committed. Afterwards, Titus sued the police and all those responsible. However, before the trial concluded, Titus died of a stress-induced heart attack.

Memory redirection can be done socially, apart from individual events. Elizabeth LOFTUS, who is quite a researcher on these issues, is a very valuable woman who conducts ethics committee-approved studies and investigations. I will share it with you in another article.
