Question

As an adult and a parent of a 4-year-old child, Camille has seen many children begin to cry when placed on the lap of the mall Santa or Easter Bunny. When discussing this with her brother, Luis, he reminds her of the time when she was 5 years old, that she began crying hysterically, ran from Santa’s lap, and was lost for nearly two hours. Luis has made all of this up, but Camille has a clear and distinct memory of the event he described. This demonstrates the role of __________ in producing false memories. Group of answer choices plausible events exaggerated suggestion implausible events atypical events.

Answer 1

plausible events

Step-by-step explanation:

A plausible event is an event that may have happened.

Even though the series of events Luis described to Camille it did not seem like the possibility of the events was completely not possible. It was real enough to make Camille think that what Luis said was the truth.

Plausible events are not far from the truth they are real enough to persuade people to make false memories.
