1. ¿Mandela effect something very curious do you know what it is ?
Nelson Mandela died on December 5, 2013 due to the effects of a respiratory infection. The
death of South Africa's first president of color and one of the main icons of the struggle
against apartheid came at home after a prolonged period of agony at the age of ninety-five,
being picked up by most major media outlets.However, there are a lot of people who were
surprised by this fact, stating that they remember that the former South African president
died in prison and even declaring to recall scenes of his funeral. This is not an isolated case,
but on other occasions a similar phenomenon has been reported in which some people
remember things that in principle have not happened. Although there are numerous cases
prior to the death of the South African president, this phenomenon has been called the
Mandela effect.
What would then be the scientific explanation for this event?
Ha and a part of psychology that is responsible for studying memory. There is something
called by this science "False memory" that implies that human beings mistakenly remember
events or experiences that have not occurred or the distortion of existing real memories. The
fabrication of these details is called collusion,which is completely common. These plots can
be formed in different ways. One of them is the one that explains the Deese Roediger -
McDermott paradigm, which demonstrates how from a list of terms that contain related
elements it produces a false recognition of other related words. That is, if someone is shown a
card with the words pillow and bed, he will immediately associate it with the word sleep, and,
if asked later what was on that card, he will answer that "sleep". In addition, in the human
brain it is common for the phenomenon known as "source monitoring errors" to occur, where
it is very difficult for us to distinguish between real and imaginary events. Jim Coan, a
professor of psychology at a university in the United States, demonstrated the ease with
which this could happen by conducting a simple experiment. The scientist narrated to his
relatives a series of events from his childhood, one of them was about how his brother had
been lost in the mall. Although this was invented, the scientist's brother not only accepted
being lost, but added details to the story. Then, later, cognitive psychologist Elizabeth Loftus
applied this experiment to a larger sample, and 25 percent of the participants could not
identify that the story was false. The Mandela Effect can also be explained with "scheme
errors", where schemes are packets of information that travel to the brain but can be modified
to better understand a situation and sometimes end up distorting reality. On the other hand,
the internet, the progress in the media and the ease with which information travels can be
factors that contribute to the new appearance of memories of a modified reality, as in the
exercise of the broken telephone, in which the original message becomes a completely new
one when it passes from person to person. Source
