Misconceptions about memory are abundant, so Jessica Wynn is here to let us know which ones we're better off forgetting on this latest Skeptical Sunday! On This Week's Skeptical Sunday: Our memories are more complex than just being videos that we can simply file away and retrieve at will. There are three main processes that characterize how memory works: encoding, storage, and recall. Forgetting is a feature, not a bug. Some memories are more easily recalled than others, and our memories can be manipulated by a variety of factors. While hotly debated, the concept of "repressed memories" doesn't seem to have the science to back it. Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
