That's surprising. I can understand mixing up memories; for example, remembering something you did but confusing the location of where it took place with that of another memory which took place in a different but similar location - But to actually recall doing something you've never done in a place that you've never been to seems like a whole different level.

I have a visual memory and so I always assumed that other people also relied on visual imaginary to recall past events. Now I'm wondering how can someone possibly recall any past event if they can't visualize it happening. Is the past just words and sentences that pop into your mind? How can you verify the authenticity of a memory from mere words? How can you be fully confident in your own memories if you can't scrutinize them from different angles in various levels of detail?
