Despite recent efforts capacity limits their genesis and the underlying neural structures of visual working memory remain unclear. Moreover research on source monitoring and imagination inflation indicates that guided imagery may carry too many risks to be used for memory recovery in a therapeutic context. Techniques to recover allegedly repressed memories can include hypnotic regression guided imagery and dream interpretation and are based on certain notions of how memory works.
Participants were told they probably experienced an early medical procedure that in reality they were unlikely to have experienced.
An important cue that a false memory is taking hold is the richness of the reported detail. In three interviews participants repeatedly were asked to remember several true events based on parent reports and one false event created by the experimenters. The present study investigated if guided imagery and group influence affected the creation of false memory reports. Techniques to recover allegedly repressed memories can include hypnotic regression guided imagery and dream interpretation and are based on certain notions of how memory works.
