    @JohnDavisJDLLM @Philosopher_Jay Some who've been at the chalk face of all this in UK for years, the brave, honest and grounded who do not indulge fantasy to make money, told me that wrongful convictions of historical sexual abuse run at 80%. After all I'd seen, I'd have accepted 100%. https://t.co/v3kR07WmIk

    @JWhitakerAuthor https://t.co/v3kR07WmIk Jared, you should watch this, because it is so significant to why so many are being falsely accused of historical sexual abuse which never took place. Lawrence Patihis is a professor at Portsmouth uni and quite simply a brilliant, deeply thinking man.

    https://t.co/uxk1AlWrpw All should read if handling sexual allegations. So long as I live, I will never forget the ease with which some willingly destroy the lives of others. Without even reading. Without really exercising any caution of any kind. Unbelievable indifference.

    @RDobbson1 @DailyMailUK @DavidRoseUK Yes. This research on DID/MPD therapy cases concluded nearly half of all patients undergoing Recovered Memory will create false memories. No ifs or buts. The fact that DID therapists are even being allowed to practice their voodoo is a medical scandal. https://t.co/VO4iiCe29s

Abstract Synopsis

  • The study analyzed eight peer-reviewed false memory implantation studies to understand how suggestive techniques influence the creation of false memories, particularly of childhood events, which is important in clinical, medical, and legal contexts.
  • Researchers developed a reliable coding system based on memory science criteria to assess reports from these studies, finding that 30% of cases were classified as false memories, with certain factors like self-relevant suggestions and imagery techniques increasing the likelihood of false memory formation to 46.1%.
  • The findings provide a systematic method for combining data across studies, offering the most accurate estimate to date of false memory formation and identifying key moderating factors that affect the creation of false memories in experimental settings.]
