A second thought on my previous posting on "Remembering is like reliving": >Should this be "remembering of a certain kind is like reliving"? >I'm thinking of recollections of distant events that are actually >the result of remembering a whole series of rememberings over >time, and possibly (such as in the case of childhood memories) >includes material that other people have supplied in the past. >Would these be registered as "relivings" in the same way? >I have my doubts.
I think there is good evidence that false memories can be experienced subjectively like reliving an event (though this may be a result of going over and over the 'event', as in psychotherapy). So where does that leave us? More experiments?
