Abstract in brief

  • Near-death experiences are vivid, life-changing events that happen when people come close to death, often with enhanced cognition despite brain issues, raising questions about whether these memories are real or imagined.
  • A study with 122 survivors used a Memory Characteristics Questionnaire to compare memories of their near-death experience, real events, and imagined events, finding that near-death memories scored higher in vividness and realism.
  • Results indicate that memories of near-death experiences are recalled as being more real than actual real events or imagined ones, suggesting they may have a unique, compelling quality that makes them feel more authentic.]
