Your Brain Just Lied to You | The Science of False Memories

Your Brain Just Lied to You | The Science of False Memories

How reliable is your memory?

You probably trust your own experiences more than almost anything else. But what if your brain isn't replaying memories... what if it's rebuilding them every single time you remember them?

In this episode of the Triple T Podcast, Beard Laws and Luther dive into one of psychology's most fascinating subjects: false memories.

The episode begins with a simple memory experiment that has fooled thousands of people around the world before exploring how memories are created, changed, and sometimes completely invented without us realizing it.

Topics include:

• Why memory works more like rebuilding than replaying
• The famous "sleep" word experiment
• How Elizabeth Loftus changed psychology forever
• Why eyewitness testimony isn't always reliable
• The surprising "hit vs. smashed" car crash study
• The Mandela Effect and why millions remember things incorrectly
• How family stories slowly reshape our memories
• The impact of Facebook memories and social media on our past
• Whether photos are replacing real experiences
• What our memories say about who we really are

This episode will leave you questioning something you've trusted your entire life: your own mind.
