How can we be completely convinced that something happened — even when the memory itself is false? In this episode of Circuit Breaker: Rewiring Your Decisions, we explore the Lost in the Mall Study — a controversial experiment that investigated how false memories can be created.

Discover how suggestion and imagination can influence our memories, why confidence doesn’t always mean a memory is accurate, and how easily our recollections can be shaped by information from others.
