From The Berenstain Bears to famous movie quotes we all swear are real, I explore why our brains might be rewriting reality.     https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-the-mandela-effect-4589394    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/mandela-effect    https://www.snopes.com/tag/mandela-effect/    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXoWiIuB25o&t=19s    https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/entertainment/g28438966/mandela-effect-examples/    https://www.britannica.com/science/Mandela-effect    https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/18/world/mandela-effect-collective-false-memory-scn    https://aeon.co/ideas/on-shared-false-memories-what-lies-behind-the-mandela-effect    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sinbad-movie-shazaam/  https://www.jstor.org/stable/1416187  https://search.catalog.loc.gov/search?option=keyword&pageNumber=1&query=Berenstein%20Bears&recordsPerPage=25  https://www.jstor.org/stable/40063737  https://news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2004/10/01/false_memories  https://collaborate.princeton.edu/en/publications/false-memories-and-aging  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31088337/  https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/totaling-recall  https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15327019eb0901_4  https://www.simplypsychology.org/cognitive.html  https://www.simplypsychology.org/flashbulb-memory.html  https://research.edgehill.ac.uk/en/publications/schemas-and-memory-consolidation/  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627318308560 https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/social-sciences/cognitive-map  https://www.filmsite.org/empi3.html https://www.simplypsychology.org/what-is-a-schema.html  https://mechanism.ucsd.edu/bill/teaching/philpsych.w03/memory4class.pdf  https://www.mheducation.ca/blog/series-classic-learning-science-reconstructive-memory-schema-theory/
