Misinformation Effect
The misinformation effect is a phenomenon in cognitive psychology where the introduction of misleading or false information can lead individuals to create false memories or alter their existing memories.
False Memory
A false memory refers to a fabricated or distorted recollection of an event or experience that did not actually occur. It is a memory that an individual believes to be true but is, in fact, a result of suggestion, misinformation, or other external influences.
