Earlier this week, The Minnesota Supreme Court heard a case to determine whether repressed memories can be used in a church sexual abuse lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed decades after the alleged sexual abuse occured, falls well outside the court's statute of limitations. The alleged victim, however, claims that he repressed the memory of the abuse, and that it only resurfaced in 2002. Craig Stark joins us to discuss the nature of memory and what we can learn by studying how our memory goes awry.
