This is a great video featuring one of the most important people in memory research.

I am lucky to know both of these women, and they are two of my idols from the field of psychology.

Being a witness, and knowing what one's memory as a victim is, are different. Loftus may use one anecdotal "Titus" case and these many false witness memory manipulations, these don't imply all victims of long term rape and abuse as children, will have false victim memory. But, that's what's implied and I don't agree that a long term victim will have a false memory. They suppress, and partition memory so that the trauma is put in the brain differently than what normal people do. especially child victims of rape/molestation will dissociate, they've no place to process the confusion, no place to know what's safe anymore. Therefore, partitioning the memory away for a long time is a commonality for boys. The memory is correct, known, but unable to process it, it's languishing in a painful rabbit hole, and will surface with triggers. Again, a witness is different than the actual victim. Revictimizing happens when a person like Loftus is preemptively used by defense for the use of her so called expertise of memory. Yet, that too is manipulation, like her experiments to prove people's memories of witness are faulty. It's fomenting bias toward all memory!!Read more Show lessRead more Show less

the interviewer is really interesting, who's she?

My abuser wasn't an innocent person.

This woman has been discredited numerous times as a blatant liar and had to leave the APA
