Your own evaluation of whether the breakthrough experiments of Drs. Gardner and Loftus were examples of genius, the zeitgeist, or some other factor. Use their own autobiographical accounts as well as your analyses of their experiments and personal stories to support your opinion.

Answer 1

According to Loftus and gardner , as they have researched over memory , it is concluded that when mind is receiving an information any sort of disturbances will affect the memory . The time gap between the receptors and recalling the memory is very sensitive. If a new information has inputed into it , then recalling is influenced by the input memory informations and it differs from the actual memory which varies greatly. This experiments seems that brain at a certain point of time is able to receive one information with high accuracy level only. More than one information of different type will affect or influenced by the other memories however it has been proved that at the time of receiving informations by the brain , if other associated informations are punched into the main informations that are very much accepted by the brain and transferred it as long term memory also. After several years or so on when it recalls the memory , those associated memories are automatically recalled .
