Not so total recall

DID you get on well with your parents as a teenager? The chances are about
fifty-fifty that you’re wrong, says Daniel Offer of Northwestern University in
Illinois. He looked up 67 men that he had interviewed in 1962, when they were
14. He asked them the same questions they had answered then about family,
sexuality, discipline and other aspects of their lives. He found the men were no
better at remembering what they felt like as adolescents than a stranger taking
a guess.
