RE: Eyewitness Accounts are Often Distorted by the Views of Others

in #psychology8 years ago (edited)

You hit the nail right on the head Sir! I can not even recall details of my own emergency situations a few days later - even though I have obviously faced the music so the details should be imprinted on my memory. I wonder how people swear to recalling minutest details even months after the incident. I think their so called 'recall' is all based on perceptions. I believe that human brain does progressively forget things, perhaps to keep things uncluttered - unless a specific effort is made to commit things to long term memory. I am also amused to see that the moment I read the first line of the blog, I thought about a regional language movie but based on '12 angry men!!' So - my train of thought did match yours for a moment though I am a layman and you are the expert. :)@krnel -

Thank you for sharing your views through this blog. Upvoted

I went on am early morning photography and bird outing today to shake off my Monday blues. Have written a blog with collages of some nice birds (made with my original photos). I request you to take a look and let me know your views. Your comments will be eagerly awaited. Thanks

We do forget things, and not recall everything, not store all detail in memory as it takes up too much "space", it's useless pretty much. Older info fades in vividness compared to new as well. I'm no expert though ;) Thanks for the feedback.
