Our memories define us, but they are also notoriously susceptible to distortion. In this talk, Charles Fernyhough will look at what the science of memory can tell us about this troublesome mental function. He will discuss a new consensus which sees memories as constructions made in the present moment rather than faithful representations of past events.
