Description
The Memory Illusion: Remembering, Forgetting, and the Science of False Memory
Forensic psychologist and memory expert Julia Shaw explores how our memories play tricks on us, and how understanding their fallibility can improve their accuracy.
This fascinating exploration of our minds reveals that our memories are far from being an accurate record of the past. By drawing on the latest research, Shaw shows why we often remember things incorrectly, and how this knowledge can help us better understand ourselves.
