Elizabeth Loftus, distinguished professor of psychological science, is quoted in this article by The New York Times about the effects on memories by playing back events. Loftus says:
“Experiencing gives you a ‘first’ person perspective. You see others while you act. Watching gives you a ‘third’ person perspective. You learn something about how others see you. I’d say this would ‘add’ to the memory … which in a sense is a kind of reshaping.”
