Ability to implant false memories is quite strong believability of events and effects of imagination play a strong role. Narratives are more likely to elicit the formation of false memories individuals have to use imagination and reconstruction to picture the event easier for false details to be used to fill in the gaps. Hypothesis: using self-relevant details in a narrative would significantly increase susceptibility to false memories in comparison to just specific details. Memory and remembering is based strongly on processes of reconstruction. Easy for false memories to be implanted and believed to be true. Provides support for memory as a process rather than just information storage in different parts of the brain. Eyewitness testimonies, for example, we now know to be unreliable additional evidence must be provided. Iconic memory for visual info is represented by the visual system.
