BuzzFeed has published a roundup of 17 psychology claims drawn from Reddit users’ answers to a question about intriguing facts, covering memory, perception, disorders and brain function. It credits users for the submissions but does not cite studies for every claim.
Examples include a user’s description of memories being reconstructed and potentially distorted through repeated recall, and entries about the Mandela Effect, selective attention, alien hand syndrome, pica, and placebo and nocebo effects. BuzzFeed says responses were edited for length or clarity.
