Answer to Question 1

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is being diagnosed with much greater frequency in recent years, with some studies suggesting unbelievably high prevalence rates. Most cases of DID are diagnosed by only a handful of clinicians, and the number of personalities claimed to exist has grown rapidly. Dissociative disorders are rarely diagnosed outside of the U.S. and Canada. It is even possible that the disorder does not exist, that it is only created by the power of suggestion, or that it represents a form of role enactment.

Answer to Question 2

(1) Memory research indicates that most memories from preschool are forgotten. (2) Therapists rarely doubt their patients' memories and may ask leading questions or set up expectations that induce false memories. (3) Research indicates high rates of erroneous memories for important events, such as where people were on the day the space shuttle Challenger blew up

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
