Do a simple google search on "Elizabeth Loftus" You'll find quite a few studies where this was done, and very easily. Look up the Reconstruction of Automobile Destruction study by Loftus and Palmer (1974), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction_of_Automobile_destruction or the Lost in the Mall technique first discussed in Loftus, and Pickrell (1995), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_in_the_mall_technique) on reconstructed memory. You see memory isn't a fixed thing, some little blot of neurons that reside somewhere in the brain. Its reconstructed continually. MOreover we can mix in imagination with memory and things become more vivid and or interesting than they actually were. larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:227353 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
