There are methods to avoid the formation of false memories
Empirical research demonstrates that interventions such as reinforced self-affirmation and targeted memory training can successfully reduce the susceptibility to misinformation and help avoid the formation of false memories.
The claim states that methods exist to avoid the formation of false memories. Papers [3] and [4] explicitly test and confirm methods (reinforced self-affirmation and memory training) designed to reduce the misinformation effect and prevent false memory creation. Other papers are tangential or address different topics.
