Resource summary

Slide 1

    When you ask people to remember information, the wording you use can affect how they remember things.

Slide 2

    People will mis-remember things they or others did and said, which makes self-reporting on past events inherently unreliable.

Slide 3

    You should take what people say with a grain of salt, if they're remembering experiences with a person or with a product.
