	cryptomnesia
		The term Was coined by psychology professor Théodore Flournoy (1854-1921) and is used to explain the origin of experiences that people believe to be original but which are actually based on memories of events they've forgotten.
		Cryptomnesia may also explain how the apparent plagiarism of such people as Helen Keller or George Harrison of the Beatles might actually be cases of hidden memory.
		The first recorded instance of cryptomnesia occured in 1874 and involved William Stanton Moses, a medium who, during a séance, claimed to be in contact with the spirits if two brothers who had recently died in India.

	Cryptomnesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cryptomnesia, or "concealed recollection," is a very common phenomenon.
		For example, cryptomnesia is likely the result of some memories becoming forcibly unconscious ones due to lack of room in the conscious.
		Therefore it does not always take the shape of plagiarism, as it would in writing, as well as musical compositions, and other art forms, but can also be the basis of philosophy.

		Cryptomnesia's roots are almost as difficult to trace as the source of the idea.
		At the turn of the 20th century, the term referred to unconscious, hidden memories that could only be remembered in states of altered consciousness.
		Cryptomnesia academic Neil Macrae, a professor of psychological and brain sciences at Dartmouth College, says, "I think this is more likely to happen to people that you like and admire....

	Gnostical Turpitude: Cool Word of the Day: Cryptomnesia
		Cryptomnesia may also explain how the apparent plagiarism of such people as Helen Keller or George Harrison of the Beatles might actually be cases of hidden memory.
		The concept of cryptomnesia also played a key role in the psychology of Carl Jung--which is, of course, famous for its theories of the unconcious.
		Jung was the author of a 1905 article called "Cryptomnesia," in which he argued that Friedrich Nietzsche had unintentionally plagiarized an article he read in his youth; Jung argued that cryptomnesia was a common phenomenon, and more recent writers have even suggested that he suffered from it himself.

	Plagiarism or memory glitch?
		Indeed, research has shown that inadvertent plagiarism--or cryptomnesia, as psychologists have termed the phenomenon--is a rather common memory glitch that pervades everyday cognitive functioning.
		Brown and Murphy found that cryptomnesia occurred in 3 to 9 percent of cases, with participants inadvertently borrowing others' contributions more often when they were attempting to recall previously generated items or trying to generate new items than during the initial word-generation task.
		And they found that cryptomnesia occurred more frequently when the response-generation procedure was more complex, making it more difficult for participants to monitor incoming information.

	VICTOR ZAMMIT -- The Book - 22. Xenoglossy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		After all other explanations have been investigated - such as fraud, genetic memory, telepathy and cryptomnesia (the remembering of a foreign language learned earlier), xenoglossy is taken as evidence of either memories of a language learned in a past life or of communication with a discarnate entity— a spirit person.
		Cryptomnesia — the recollection of a foreign language learned in the earlier years of a person's life — was also ruled out.
		In addition to fraud and cryptomnesia, two other 'explanations' sometimes given by skeptics for xenoglossy are 'telepathy' or 'genetic memory'.

		Cryptomnesia (for those who are not aware) is knowledge that may be revealed without the person remembering its source.
		Under the rules of Cryptomnesia, past lives should read like a movie or book plot and in a high number of cases, of course, they don't.
		In my case No i dont think it is Cryptomnesia http://skepdic.com/cryptomn.html because i have seen things and heard things that cannot possibly come from memory.

		Well as setup was going along for some reason neither speaker wanted to work at the same time, most likely an over looked problem on the mixing console or amp controller, but after several hours of testing and playing around a different solution was taken that what was desired.
		With all said and done and all the collaboration of darkcalgary, Toxic Shock Syndrome and Cryptomnesia, all obstacles were overcome in a calm manner with a somewhat interesting humor.
		As was mentioned to me Cryptomnesia may not be a band that you instantly like - for some of you yes maybe it is, but for the rest of you I suggest listening to their CD for awhile as it does grow on you in a complex way.

	Purple Puzzle Place: Word of the Day: Cryptomnesia
		There are a number of historical examples of someone unintentionally plagiarizing someone else's work simply because it had become such a part of their consciousness that they didn't even realize they were copying it.
		Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary defines cryptomnesia as "the appearance in consciousness of memory images which are not recognized as such but which appear as original creations." In other words, it's something you remember without remembering, thinking it's your own creation when really it is from some other source.
		In other words, most cryptomnesia (at least if extensive) is the result of not caring enough to pay attention to the fact that we're plagiarizing.

	Reincarnation
		Cryptomnesia is "The unconscious memory of information learned through normal channels." (Harper's Encyclopedia of Mystical and Paranormal Experience).
		The basic concept of cryptomnesia is this:we remember, albeit on a subconscious level, one heck of a lot more that we see and read than we believe possible.
		Hence, a person who may describe events of a past life may actually simply be recalling some story or account they read years ago that they have consciously totally forgotten, but that has stayed on a subconscious level just waiting to be recalled.

		The first three items show that high scores on the cryptomnesia scale are related to belief in conspiracies, including the JFK and AIDS conspiracies, as well as the UFO conspiracy.
		Since our analysis suggests that we are dealing with cryptomnesia, not UFO abduction, however, we undertook a causal path analysis based on the assumption that this is a psychological phenomenon rooted in early life experiences.
		The path analysis suggests that cryptomnesia is rooted in a lack of trusting relationships.

		Radiant Darling’s first full—length album, “Cryptomnesia,” is as innovative as its title — the CD weaves jazz with Americana music, trip—hop and eastern Indian influences.
		“Cryptomnesia is the appearance and consciousness of memory images which are not recognized as such but which appear as original creations,” Saraiya said.
		The gist of Cryptomnesia is that in nine minutes and just under forty minutes you get a couple torch songs, a couple foot stompers, and several genre-benders that all showcase a great little band with a unique and outstanding female singer.

	Irish Literature: Comment on Cryptomnesia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This idea of expanding on a previously written but little known story and calling it your own has been on my mind most of this semester, mostly because the thesis I'm writing deals with a novel that is not completely original.
		I think cryptomnesia is possible, but in most cases highly unlikely.
		I'd say no, that just because the idea may not be unique, the style and differences in the story are what allow the new version to have value and be superior to the work that inspired it.

	In Music We Trust - Cryptomnesia: Hypnerotomachia
		Occasionally allowing moments of lovely raw bass lines, phrases of logical poetry, and an actual guitar chord to seep through the cracks keep Hypnerotomachia breathing and protect it from becoming a hybrid of ambient and metal that would destroy the essence of both genres.
		The band name Cryptomnesia translates as "hidden memory;" more specifically it is used as an explanation of unintentional plagiarism.
		This is a very dangerous name for an industrial goth metal band, almost asking for an automated attack on their application of the advanced defense mechanism.

	Lecture Hints (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Cryptomnesia can be thought of as unintended plagiarism: A person honestly believes that some thought, publication, composition, or other work is an original creation when in fact it is not.
		A song by Huey Lewis and the News, "I Want A New Drug," also came under scrutiny as a too-close variant of Ray Parker's "Ghostbusters," and Aerosmith recently came under fire for lifting the line "Mister, you're a better man than I" from the Yardbirds' song of the same name.
		In each case the similarities were determined to be unintentional, suggesting that cryptomnesia was at work.

	Past Forward Rule: Debunking the Reincarnation Debunkers
		This is because they have unconsciously absorbed the information, forgotten where it came from, and then "remembered" it claiming it to be their own past life memory.
		If it is cryptomnesia, when the person is confronted with the "facts" about the source of the "memories", they will disappear.
		Of course, those critics who use cryptomnesia as the reason to reject all past life memories fail to explain why they exist in individuals who cannot read or have had no exposure to books or movies, like very young children and those in "illiterate" cultures.

	Ellis C Taylor.com, Cellular Memory Guest article
		Those UFO abductions that surface under hypnosis may not necessarily be real either, they could be the result of what’s known as cryptomnesia, where the mind has forced a memory back to the deepest recesses of the mind, be it from something that was read in a book, magazine, or seen on a television programme.
		Cryptomnesia is the retention of unconscious memory of information learned through normal channels.
		The conscious mind doesn’t always recall all daily information and the individual will swear that ‘in no way’ is their claimed UFO abduction or encounter, something that they have read in a book.

		Opening with a mad, blindfolded dash through the mind of a lunatic, Cryptomnesia members Regan, Terence, and Mikael then begin a well paced exploration through nightmare analysis, social commentary, desolation, depravation, and all those themes that make manic depressant keyboard programming tolerable for over an hour.
		Given the number of years that Cryptomnesia have been in the Industrial scene, you’d expect this release to be fairly good, and you know what, you’d be right.
		(Cryptomnesia say they have done some film soundtracks, and this is apparent on this release), with some vocals creeping onto the occasional track.

	Features: Michael Welch
		These relationships are good in some cases, such as parody, homage, and allusion, and not good in other cases, such as plagiarism, cryptomnesia (remembering someone else's poem without realizing that one is remembering rather than creating it), and simply being too similar or insufficiently fresh or original.
		A famous case of cryptomnesia in the music world involved George Harrison, who was found guilty of plagiarism for using the Chiffon's song "He's So Fine" in his song "My Sweet Lord." With haiku, too, cryptomnesia, though not deliberate or willful, is still plagiarism and should not be tolerated.
		I think it's appropriate for a reader to bring the problem to the attention of the offending party, and perhaps for a correction to be published in the same journal where the offending poem appeared, but then to leave it at that.

		It's also good to AIM at certain sorts of poetry, too, as the challenge of writing a villanelle, say, is valuable, and also distinct from writing, say, a haiku.
		You are certainly right that cryptomnesia (hidden memory) is not limited to haiku.
		Also, cryptomnesia is involved in only one of several main types of what I call deja-ku.
