In psychology, a false memory is a phenomenon in which someone recalls something that did not actually happen or recalls it differently from the way it actually happened. Suggestibility, activation of associated information, the incorporation of misinformation effect, and source misattribution have been suggested to be several mechanisms underlying a variety of types of false memory.
