Question

Which of the following claims about memory accuracy is FALSE? Participants are sometimes mistaken in their recollection of an event’s minor details, but do not create an entirely new false memory. Children may be even more vulnerable to the “planting” of false memories than adults. Participants’ confidence in their false memories is often just as great as their confidence in their accurate recollections. When a participant’s response is based on a false memory, the response is likely to be given just as quickly as it would be if based on an accurate memory.

Answer 1

Answer:

Participants are sometimes mistaken in their recollection of an event's minor details, but do not create an entirely new false memory.

Explanation:

The creation of new false memory happen very often among individuals. Most people tend to interpret new information that exist around us based on our own principles, knowledge, and experience.  So, whenever we see new information that does not conform to these, we tend to falsely record that information into our memory so it conform to our principles, knowledge, and experience.
