Frenda conducted a study where he found that people who were sleep deprived had a greater chance of reporting wrong details about a crime they had seen a picture of, but another study that was conducted by another experimenter and their conclusion was that “The absence of significant difference between experimental groups does not suggest that sleep is a prominent factor in determining the occurrence of subsequent false recollections,”(“Does Sleep Promote False Memories?: EBSCOhost,” n.d.). Some reasons that could cause this to happen is that the person receives false information from the primary source, maybe sleep deprivation, and time. With that being a great episode and all there are ways to have false memories created.įor starters, false memories are a distortion of one’s memories. These parasites would only create happy memories only, so this is how the main characters got rid of them because they would think about the bad times they had with one other in order to rid their house of this parasite. These bugs would turn into these significant beings that the main character’s thought was important to them like Uncle Steve, Cousin Nicky, and Sleepy Gary just to name a few.
In the Rick and Morty episode “Total Rickall” all of the characters (which include: Rick, Morty, Beth, Jerry, and Summer) were affected by these intergalactic parasites that implanted false memories into them in order to multiply and take over the planet.
