          False Memories Are Harder to Create Than Once Thought

          A new analysis challenges long-standing claims about the ease of implanting false memories, often cited in court cases to discredit witnesses. Researchers re-evaluated data from a 2023 replication of the "Lost in the Mall" study, finding that none of the participants formed fully false memories of a fabricated childhood event.

          Cuttlefish Can Create False Memories, Just Like Humans

          Researchers have discovered that cuttlefish can form false memories, similar to humans. By exposing cuttlefish to overlapping features of different events, they induced the creatures to falsely remember seeing shrimp where there were none. This finding suggests that cuttlefish reconstruct memories from separate details, optimizing memory storage. Individual cuttlefish showed varying susceptibility to forming false memories, indicating differences in memory processing.
