Belief in reincarnation tied to memory errors

Dutch researchers tested people who believed their psychological problems were caused by their past lives. Subjects were asked to recite a list of unfamiliar names. The next day, after being shown a list with those names, new names, and the names of famous people, the alleged reincarnates were more likely than those without such recollections to misidentify more of the previously recited names as belonging to famous people. The research suggests that epople remembering previous lives are subject to an error about the original source of a memory.
