What is Confabulation?
Definition:
In psychology, confabulation is a memory error defined as the production of fabricated, distorted, or misinterpreted memories about oneself or the world. People who confabulate present incorrect memories ranging from “subtle alterations to bizarre fabrications”, and are generally very confident about their recollections, despite contradictory evidence.
Example:
Brian Williams, anchor of NBC Nightly News, told a story on his show about being in a helicopter that was “forced down after being hit by an RPG”. In reality he was on another helicopter half an hour behind them.
About a visit to Bosnia Hillary Clinton said: I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base. In reality it was a safe and calm visit.
