You can apply this same logic to the bear thing which most people haven't thought of in years so when someone comes along is like "Y'all tf it used to be spelled with an e not an a  " and everyone starts questioning their memory because they don't actually have a clear and concise memory you end up with this mess.
Even in psychology there's a similar phenomenon where people will hear someone else's story and will actually forget that it did not happen to them and wil end up remembering the story as an event in their own life! |
No I don't, to your first answer.
The Berenstein one is the only one that I am personally sure about, because I had always paid great attention to spelling and found that word really interesting
because of its spelling as a child.
The snow white one seems to be "misquoted" by everyone, but I never owned the movie, so I can't say for sure. Odd though that if you were to ask anyone to quote it, they would say "mirror, mirror..."
As for the others, why are there many people that have a memory of Nelson Mandela dying in prison?
I don't personally, but I find it really interesting that so many do and I think it's worthy of discussion. And there are so many other cases with people I have never heard of so I don't have much input there.
So whether this is an actual phenomenon, or a psychological issue, it is really interesting and shows how complex our minds are and how they can fool us.
