The Price of Prediction: Robust False Memories in Naturalistic Contexts

2026-08-02

Abstract excerpt

<p>The human brain predicts incoming visual events to make sense of the world in real time. While prior work has shown that explicit predictions can induce false memories of the predicted event using artificial and decontextualized stimuli, whether these distortions generalize to naturalistic settings remains unknown. To test this, participants viewed first-person videos of everyday events, that paused midway to p...
