Alright, I got college classes in like 20 minutes from now, so I'll respond to that once I get back (which would be about 6 hours from now).

But I'll ask you, Grey, to please, please, please improve your grammar. Add words where necesary, add punctuation where it would be useful. There are parts of that wall of text where I simply cannot understand a bit of what you're trying to say. For example:

"A fake memory that gets rid of a significant event is what happens common I believe that your policewoman is an excellent example." I really can't tell what you're trying to say there.

But in the meantime, I'll respond to this bit:

"Another example is that people who witnessed traumatic events either remember the whole thing or nothing."

That is different. Completely different. If people don't remember a traumatic event, is due to a defense mechanism; they literally block the memory, unconsciously.

I'm talking about CONFABULATIONS. I even put a link to it, last time I checked. When I say fake memories, I mean CONFABULATIONS. Fabricated, distored, or misinterpreted memories of oneself or the world. Incorrect memories that they believe full-heartedly and with confidence, even if they lean towards the bizarre.

Granted, semantically it's not the most appropiate idea to call them fake memories in this case, but still.
