Question

As an adult and a parent of a 4-year-old child, camille has seen many children begin to cry when placed on the lap of the mall santa or easter bunny. when discussing this with her brother, luis, he reminds her of the time when she was 5 years old, that she began crying hysterically, ran from santa's lap, and was lost for nearly two hours. luis has made all of this up, but camille has a clear and distinct memory of the event he described. this demonstrates the role of __________ in producing false memories

Answer 1

This demonstrates the role of suggestion in creating false memories.  Her brother, Luis, suggests that Camille ran from Santa and became lost.  Because of the existing knowledge that children will cry or get off Santa's lap, he was able to create a false memory though suggestion.
