Memory experts are most likely to doubt the reliability of her memory due to the awareness of false memories. Sometimes people create these false memories in response to implications from other misinformation they have received or from wrongly associating other events with the false memories. This is often noted in child abuse cases such as Mrs. Ramos is explaining.
