True or False?

I definitely remember learning at Yale in some class about how when we recall a story or fact, we're just as likely to remember the story backwards or remember the opposite of the fact. I often think about this because I am notorious for spreading "facts" for which I cannot recall a source. The NYT just had an op-ed about this today: click here to see the story.
