[QUOTE="hypocriticalrambler, post: 2645622, member: 895935"] priming the illusion of truth effect advertising (my favorite group) Myth: People believe that memory is accurate Fact: memory is reconstructive "you actually remember bits & pieces of info & automatically fill in the missing details & add your own embellishments of partial fiction based on relevant fact, incidental information, suggestions, & sheer imagination" The role of emotion in making memories- adrenaline the misinformation effect: "information presented after an event interferes with the ability to retain previously encoded information. Essentially, the new information that a person receives works backward in time to distort memory of the original event." cognitive dissonance theory - how you unconsciously make things consistent with each other the 'better than average' effect fundamental attribution error Perceptual constancy the types of tricks psychics use (briefly described in the book "pseudoscience and the extraordinary claims of the paranormal" by smith- chapter 7) confirmation bias(u can do a lot with this one) yeah i think thats all i can suggest for now...look em up see if they interest you [/QUOTE]
