ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Memory conformity

Memory conformity is what happens when people remember things differently after talking to other people. For example, if you and your friend get asked what color a car was that you saw together, you might remember it differently after talking to each other. This is because when people tell stories, they try and make them sound the same, and sometimes they change details so the stories match. Memory conformity is when this affects your memories.
