In a study discussed in your textbook, volunteers were shown old childhood photos their parents had provided, including pictures of events like riding in a balloon. What did this study find?
A) The photos triggered repressed memories from some volunteers' childhoods.
B) The volunteers could not remember any of the events that occurred before they were three years old.
C) After several sessions, many volunteers could recount memories for the events in the photos, even when the photos had been digitally altered to show things that never happened to them.
D) The photographs that were in color were more successful in cueing forgotten memories than the black-and-white photographs.
Answer: C
Rationale: In this study, researchers took one of the pictures and digitally cut and pasted it into a balloon ride. On three occasions the participants went through the set of pictures, the true originals plus the doctored photo. By the end of the third session, half the participants had some memory for the balloon ride event, even though it never occurred.
