Richard L. Marsh, Gordon H. Bower · 1993 · Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 19(3), 673-688
This source is used as supports evidence across 1 linked claim and 3 related evidence hubs. Its citation record is marked verified; that verifies the source trail, not the truth of any linked claim.
Summary
Experimental work showing that people can reuse others' earlier responses as if they were self-generated, a controlled demonstration of cryptomnesia-like source confusion.
How this source is used on the map
Strengthens the ordinary-memory explanation for many past-life regression reports, especially adult cases involving prior exposure.

Primary psychological source for the idea that apparent novel memories can sometimes come from forgotten exposure rather than paranormal access.
Direct reference for the cryptomnesia-explains-past-lives skeptical hypothesis.
Direct reference for regression-derived claims and cryptomnesia explanations. It should be clearly distinguished from spontaneous child past-life memory cases, which have a different evidence profile.
