Editing Cold reading (section)

==Sitter misremembering==
In a detailed review of four sittings conducted by medium [[Tyler Henry]], Edward and [[Susan Gerbic]] reviewed all statements made by him on the TV show ''Hollywood Medium''. In their opinion not one statement made by Henry was accurate, yet each sitter felt that their reading was highly successful. In interviews with each sitter after their sitting, all four claimed specific statements made by Henry, but, after reviewing the show, it was shown that he had not made those statements. Each sitter had misremembered what Henry said. One of many examples of this was when Henry, during a session with celebrity [[Ross Mathews]], stated "Bambi, why am I connecting to Bambi?" Mathews stated that his father, who was a hunter, would not shoot deer because of the movie ''[[Bambi]]''. In the post-interview, Mathews stated that "It was weird that Henry knew that my father would not shoot deer because of Bambi", demonstrating that Mathews did not remember that he, not Henry, had supplied the connection to his father.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Gerbic|first1=Susan|author-link=Susan Gerbic|first2=Mark|last2=Edward|title=Tip the Canoe of Tyler Too!|url=http://www.csicop.org/specialarticles/show/tip_the_canoe_of_tyler_too|website=Skeptical Inquirer|date=14 April 2016 |publisher=Center for Inquiry|access-date=22 April 2016}}</ref>
