memory distrust syndrome

 

The memory distrust syndrome is the effect of coercive questioning, which causes an interviewee to distrust their memory of events and in some cases, to consider their memory as false.

Memory distrust syndrome is a term attributed to psychologist Gisli Gudjonsson.

Gudjonsson developed a scale to measure "interrogative suggestibility."
