I forgot to mention this earlier.

At 8 central PBS will be doing a full show about memory. One particular section covers HSAM. NO, I am not on it, but the 13-year old kid (Jake Hausler from St Louis) and Bob Petrella (64 years old and a Penn St alum) will be featured. Bob has been on "60 Minutes" three times. There is also a section about how false memories can be implanted by a persuasive person.

If you see it let me know what you think. I'm DVRing it but doing school tonight.

Watched the program and it was very interesting. One of the more enlightening aspect was the study on creating false memories in the test subjects minds. In the test, 70% of the subjects left remembering a crime they did not commit. It illustrates how a skilled interrogator can plant false memories that will latter appear in witness testimony during a criminal trial.
