Word of the Day: Confabulation

Confabulation happens when your brain accidentally makes up memories without you knowing theyre wrong. Its not lying, people truly believe these stories are real. In daily life, confabulation can show up as misremembering events, combining imagination with reality, or confidently recalling details that never actually happened. Knowing about it helps us understand memory, communicate better, and be more patient with ourselves and others.
