> The basic problem is that people don't by and large scientifically assess their memories for accuracy But wouldn't any practice of assessing one's own memories intermediately depend on memory faculties? I can quickly think of two dependencies: 1. Working memory (maybe this is tangential and not really on topic for long-term memory) 2. Semantic memories required to assess the legitimacy of a memory. E.g. if we were to shoot for "scientific assessments" like you said, then said assessment would rely on memories that allow for scientific assessment. I'm no scientist and don't know quite what such "scientific assessment" would look like in practice, but if you have an assessment framework you're deliberately working within, it seems like you'd have to at least have semantic memory/existing knowledge of that same framework. Perhaps manipulation of episodic memory doesn't clearly pose such problems, but I expect that's neither here nor there.
