More information about eye witnesses and memory.

PSB website has more here. including the transcript and links.

what is a memory? How is it formed? Why do some people remember things in great detail, and why? Memories can cause hard changes in the brain. Different parts of the memory are stored in different parts of the brain. But what about syndromes with memory problems?

this is the link about how to implant false memories 

It turns out to be eerily straightforward to set up the conditions to give someone a false memory. Simply introduce an authority expert, mix falsehood with reality, and apply social pressure. The result is unmistakable—a false memory gains very real traction in someone’s mind.
Something to remember when these cases come up.

false accusations are not always due to greed and money (although these things occur too).
