Remembering our Childhood

How Memory Betrays Us

av Karl Sabbagh
Häftad,  Engelska, 2011-07-14

Slutsåld

In a number of highly-charged child abuse cases, teachers and parents have been wrongfully arrested because of claims of 'recovered memory'. But brain science is now discovering how memories can alter, or even be planted by leading questions. Sabbagh explains the latest findings, and argues that courts must be guided by them.

Andrew Robinson, Lancet Review from previous edition Lively investigation.

William Leith, Financial Times Never less than fascinating.

Elizabeth F. Loftus, Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychology and Social Behavior, University of California, Irvine A terrific book. Sabbagh's journey into childhood memory shows keen insight into how it works and what it means. He offers a masterfully original and beautifully written perspective on one of the most fundamental aspects of the human mind.
