Book Reading #29 - Opening Skinner's Box

Chapter 8
Summary
The point of this chapter's case study was that of memories. The idea that memories were solid was challenged to see how fragile they really were. Apparently memories were not as good as once thought and even the mere mention of a wrong detail, the subject will go along with it or question themselves heavily.

Discussion
This is very interesting simply by the results but also the fact that it was long thought that memories were solid and good ways to remember things well. I like when obvious things are turned around because it shows to all that simple things should continue to be questioned.
