Quizplus · Accepted Answer

False memories or beliefs can be implanted in a person's mind during an interrogation, leading them to falsely believe they committed a crime. This is known as memory implantation. Repression, trauma-induced amnesia, and dissociation are all mechanisms by which a person may forget or repress actual memories, but they do not necessarily lead to false confessions.
