Experiments

Post interesting experiments conducted.

In 2002, an experiment by Kimberley Wade at the University of Warwick showed people a photograph of themselves as a child in a hot air balloon basket. This was shown as “evidence” that they had been on a hot air balloon flight. The photos had been doctored in computer graphic software. The researchers had obtained a childhood picture of the experiment’s subjects, and the software cut out their childhood picture and placed it inside the image of a hot air balloon.About half of the participants in the experiment, on being shown the photographic evidence, said that they remembered the flight, even though in reality they had never been on a hot air balloon. The experiment was used to demonstrate the fallibility of memory and how false memories can be created. The finding of the experiment has even had implications on some legal cases.
If you take your children on a hot air balloon ride over Bath, and years later show them the photograph taken on the occasions, they will probably remember the flight. However, this experiment shows that they can never be 100% certain that the memory is true.
