Which of the following claims about memory accuracy is false? participants are sometimes mistaken in their recollection of an event’s minor details, but do not create an entirely new false memory. children may be even more vulnerable to the “planting” of false memories than adults. participants’ confidence in their false memories is often just as great as their confidence in their accurate recollections. when a participant’s response is based on a false memory, the response is likely to be given just as quickly as it would be if based on an accurate memory.

Participants are sometimes mistaken in their recollection of an event's minor details, but do not create an entirely new false memory.

Explanation:

The creation of new false memory happen very often among individuals. Most people tend to interpret new information that exist around us based on our own principles, knowledge, and experience.  So, whenever we see new information that does not conform to these, we tend to falsely record that information into our memory so it conform to our principles, knowledge, and experience.

answer; researchers typically cannot control people's sexual behaviors as would be necessary in an experiment;

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
