	Psychology History
		Elizabeth F. Loftus, a professor of psychology and expert researcher on the malleability and reliability of repressed memories, is an instrumental figure in cognitive psychology.
		Loftus was born in Los Angeles, California on October 16, 1944, to Sidney and Rebecca Fishman.
		Loftus does not deny child sexual abuse occurs or that it might be possible for the mind to repress a trauma, but she questions the accuracy of those memories and the techniques used to resurface such memories.

		Loftus in her defense claims she always called Taus Jane Doe in her publication and this attack is an attempt to stifle her freedom of speech.

	Article on Elizabeth Loftus, Orange County Register (2002)
		Elizabeth Loftus is a cognitive psychologist whose research into how memory works is so deep and so wide and so highly regarded that the April issue of The Review of General Psychology ranked her 58th among the top 100 psychologists of the 20th century.
		Loftus is the leader and the unapologetic lightning rod for the latter bunch, which lost a lot of the early battles in the 1990s but has lately been winning a lot, especially in the courtroom.
		Loftus and others on her side are privately braced for the next surge, the recovered- memory cases accusing priests of abuse.

		LOFTUS: Well, one of the things that we know about juries and how they react to evidence that they're hearing is that they do place a lot of weight in eyewitness testimony.
		LOFTUS: One of the things that happens when you have a victim of a serious crime and a police investigator is they both have the same goal.
		LOFTUS: Well, first of all, when a victim goes to a lineup or to a photo spread, looks at a set of photos, one of the things that would be natural is for that victim to think the police must have a suspect or they wouldn't have brought me here.

	Loftus Family Registry - Elizabeth Loftus
		Loftus has spent most of her life steadily amassing a clear and brilliant body of work showing that memory is amazingly fragile and inventive.
		Though Beth Loftus is gregarious, warm, and (as one friend states) "always seems to be on a high without the aid of chemical infusion" she burst into tears twice in the first 20 minutes of our interview.
		Loftus' graduate students took the famous Demi Moore picture on the cover of Vanity Fair (Demi's Birthday Suit--in which the naked actress had a tuxedo and striped shirt painted onto her body), substituted Loftus's face, and framed it for her.

		These two statements taken together would seem to indicate that Loftus came under the scrutiny of the Ethics Committee on the date of the filing of the complaints, and thus the APA should have barred her resignation, as stated in the Rules and Procedures.
		In the quoted passage, Loftus does seem to imply that the memory involving the horse emerged as an elaboration and distortion of Crook's earlier memory involving her father, an implication that Crook denies.
		Loftus stated in her resignation letter that she resigned largely because of the increasing drift of the APA "away from scientific and scholarly thinking and.

	False Memories
		In a 2002 study involving undergraduates at Midwestern and California universities, Dr. Elizabeth Loftus and her team of behavioral researchers at UC Irvine got over a third of her subjects to say they shook hands with Bugs Bunny at Disneyland, by implanting the impossible suggestion-- Bugs Bunny is not a Disney character.
		Now, Loftus and many of her colleagues believe that memories are constantly being updated to fit "post-event information," such as events, details, and comments that are experienced later.
		Loftus has shown subjects who are given false information about an event or scene tend to incorporate it into their memories, and "recall" the false information as a part of their original memory even two weeks later.

	Remembering Dangerously
		Loftus also omitted Hoult's continuous memories of her father commenting on her breasts when she was a teenager, saying "Well, that really gets the seamen running," her contemporaneous confusion about why he was talking about sailors, and her later realization that he was making a lewd comment referring to semen.
		Loftus is critical of the memories of victims who have proven their claims in courts of law, but she protects her own memory from investigation or critique by withholding the name of her alleged abuser.
		Loftus noted that Hoult was "involved in years of therapy." It is hardly surprising that a woman whose father raped her repeatedly for over a decade might need substantial therapy to overcome the resulting trauma.

		Loftus (1992) proceeded to describe the experience of Chris, the 14-year-old pilot subject in whom a false lost memory was "implanted" in 1991 without HSC approval.
		Loftus stated that "resistance" to her ideas is based not on evidence, reason, and good faith, but rather on prejudice and fear—for example: "I know the prejudices and fears that lie behind the resistance to my life’s work" (Loftus and Ketcham, 1994, p.
		We suggest that Loftus’ use of existence proof is simply a convenient rhetorical device employed to lend the appearance of scientific authority to her hypothesis in the absence of clear and convincing data.

	'We can implant entirely false memories' \| Life \| Guardian Unlimited
		Alda was the unwitting guinea pig of Elizabeth Loftus, a UCI psychologist who has been obsessed with the subject of memory and its unreliability since Richard Nixon was sworn in as president.
		Elizabeth Loftus' research has obvious implications for the reliability of eyewitness testimony.
		And it was as a result of her findings that in 1994 she co-wrote her book, The Myth of Repressed Memory, and took a strong stand in the recovered memory debate of the 90s, for which she was reviled by those who claimed to have uncovered repressed memories of abuse - alien, sexual or otherwise.

	Book Review - The Myth of Repressed Memory by Elizabeth Loftus, Ph.D.
		If Loftus' proposition that repressed memory does not exist would be accepted, we would have to remove the center plank of primal theory and other regressive therapies.
		But in not giving both sides of the discussion, Dr. Loftus is unfair since she does not consider the position of her opponents who with logic on their side, for example, might discuss the significance of a memory being conscious but with its feelings completely or partially repressed.
		Loftus seems to imply that her attackers believe that repression is an all or nothing phenomena.
