Hey Rich, It's great to see you. I hope things are improving for you. My 83 yr old mother has a selective memory. She is still sharp as a tack, and more intelligent than most people, but she only remembers things that she wants to. Lol. She can remember what happened on Thursday, may 9th, 1961, but ask her something about 4 mths ago, and its a crap shoot. Haaa haa. She says IDK alot. I will have to watch her shoulders. She doesnt do the eye blink, and She probly couldnt tell me backwards what she did today, unless its by accident, lol. Add this to your liar list. When people repeat your question back to you when they are asked about something. I saw this all of the time when i watched cops and live PD. When a cop asks someone a question, which the cop usually already knows the answer to, when the crook is lying to the police, they usually repeat the question to waste time to think of an answer, but its a lie.
It was just a suggestion to test kids, because they would freeze on the spot! Basically calling their bluff… but if you were an interrogator interviewing a convict, I would certainly sit them down and have me describe what “happened” backwards.
