We examine the evidence concerning what people believe about memory. We focus on beliefs regarding the permanence of memory and whether memory can be repressed and accurately recovered. We consider beliefs about memory among the undergraduate and general population, mental health professionals, judges, jurors, and law enforcement officers to provide a broad canvass that extends to the forensic arena, as well as to psychiatry, psychology, and allied disciplines. We discuss the implications of these beliefs for the education of the general public and mental health professionals regarding the science and pseudoscience of memory and the use of suggestive procedures in psychotherapy.
我们审视了有关人们对记忆的看法的证据。我们关注的是有关记忆持久性以及记忆是否会被压抑并准确恢复的看法。我们考量了本科生和普通大众、心理健康专业人士、法官、陪审员以及执法人员对记忆的看法，以进行广泛的探讨，其范围涵盖了法医领域，以及精神病学、心理学和相关学科。我们讨论了这些看法对于普通公众和心理健康专业人士在记忆科学与伪科学以及心理治疗中暗示性程序使用方面教育的意义。
