Memory implantation is used in cognitive psychology to investigate human memory. In memory implantation studies researchers make people believe that they remember an event that actually never happened. The false memories that have been successfully implanted in people’s memories include remembering being lost in a mall as a child, taking a hot air balloon ride, and putting slime in a teacher’s desk in primary school.[1] [2] [3] Memory implantation techniques were developed in the 1990’s as a way of providing evidence for the reconstructive properties of human memory. Most of the studies on memory implantation were published in the context of the debate about repressed memories and the possible danger of digging for lost memories in therapy. Successfully implanting memories in people’s minds have implications for therapy and legal settings.
