Abstract
La memoria es un proceso reconstructivo, donde distintos recuerdos buscan conformar una narrativa autobiográfica coherente. No obstante, dichos recuerdos no son completamente precisos, ya que en diversas investigaciones se ha encontrado que las personas tienden a reportar episodios de su pasado que sucedieron ya sea de manera distinta o que en realidad nunca ocurrieron. Tras considerar a la memoria autobiográfica como el mayor logro ontogenético humano, surge la interrogante respecto
a cómo puede suceder un fenómeno tan impreciso como el de las memorias falsas. En el presente estudio teórico se revisa la principal evidencia científica respecto a la existencia de memorias falsas, se analiza su etiología y se profundiza en su posible rol adaptativo.
Memory is a reconstructive process in which different memories seek to form a coherent autobiographical narrative. Still, these memories seem to be not entirely accurate, since years of research have found that people tend to recall their past events differently from what happened, or even mention memories of events that did not occur. After considering autobiographical memory as the greatest human ontogenetic achievement, the question concerning the existence of such an imprecise phenomenon, as it is that of false memories, arises. The present theoretical study reviews the main scientific evidence regarding the existence of false memories, discusses its etiology and delves into its potential adaptive role.
