ICYMI - Your Memory Is Lying to you. One Word Might Have Done It.

ICYMI - Your Memory Is Lying to you. One Word Might Have Done It.

Cognitive bias researcher and author Davis Carbo joins to unpack one of the most unsettling findings in psychology: changing a single word in how an event is described can make people remember things that never happened. The Loftus and Palmer car crash study from the seventies proved it, and the implications reach into every conversation, news story, and relationship in your life.

Carbo walks through how the brain handles thirty-five thousand decisions a day, why ninety-five percent of them happen on autopilot, and what that means for the moments you think you are choosing freely. From Jaws emptying beaches to a fake doctor's waiting room where strangers teach each other to stand up for no reason, the patterns are everywhere once you know how to see them.

The question isn't whether bias is shaping your decisions. It's whether you want to know how.

Topics: cognitive bias, misinformation effect, decision making, heuristics, memory distortion
