Our current opinions,feelings, and experiences can bias our memories of how we felt in the past.

Another study, where a psychologist questioned over 2,000 people on their views about the legalization of marijuana,highlights yet another kind of influence on memory.Participants answered questions in 1973 and 1982.Those who said they had supported marijuana legalization in 1973,but reported they were against it in 1982,were more likely to recall that they were 。actually against legalization in 1973—bringing their old views in line with their current ones.Our current opinions,feelings, and experiences can bias our memories of how we felt in the past.
