The inter­est­ing out­come of Pizarro’s study shows that people’s mem­ory of facts can be dis­torted by chang­ing details about an individual’s char­ac­ter. If the sub­jects thought Frank was a good guy, they remem­bered the bill at being $55; if they thought he is a bad guy, they remem­ber the bill was $65.
