  Psychology History
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' main argument and support for her theory is that there are no controlled scientific experiments to prove that repressed memories actually exist.

 The diva of disclosure, 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.

 Article on Elizabeth Loftus, Orange County Register (2002)
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 noted that the cases she was hearing about were, additionally, products of encouraged invention that led her to be highly critical of therapists.
Loftus and others on her side are privately braced for the next surge, the recovered- memory cases accusing priests of abuse.

 injusticebusters 2004 > > Elizabeth Loftus' work on memory has given many falsely accused the chance to be ...
Loftus had been a faculty member for 29 years at Washington, yet she recalls with undisguised bitterness that, following this complaint, university officials arrived at her office and seized her files with 15 minutes' notice, ordered her not to speak about the case and began an investigation that lasted 19 months.
Now Loftus sees a "critical mass" forming at UCI, and though she hesitates to suggest her arrival was the catalyst for this, the evidence of her influence is hard to miss.
Loftus said although fewer than half the subjects in her studies displayed false memories, she argued the effect can be quite persuasive -- even if it is to the subject's detriment.

 George T. Hathorn & a. v. William R. Loftus
Though Loftus' pleadings and initial testimony in the quiet title action revealed that he based his claim to enforce the note on an assignment, and not an indorsement, his ultimate testimony was different.
Loftus, however, contends that despite the trial court's reference to the summary judgment order in its written decision on the merits, it properly granted several requested findings of fact that he had established the "for value" element.
Loftus asserts that these findings serve as an independent basis for affirming the court's conclusion that the "for value" element was satisfied.

When asked about this coincidence, however, Loftus stated that she had no knowledge of the fact, because she worked on many cases simultaneously and didn't always know which expert witnesses were scheduled to testify in any particular case.
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 has been developing technologies to clarify the interrelationship between SOX10 and two other transcription factors that are altered in Waardenburg syndrome (MITF and PAX3), identify their downstream target genes, and specify the effects those gene products have on normal neural crest cell development.
Loftus has developed a strain of transgenic mice that is useful for studying neural crest cells in vivo in normal and gene-defective disease states.
For example, in earlier work, Dr. Loftus used a mouse model to clone both the mouse and human gene responsible for Niemann-Pick C disease, a rare lipid storage disorder that severely damages the liver, spleen, and nervous system and is fatal to most patients by their teens.

 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.

 John Loftus, Minister to Honest Doubter -- critique
Loftus is thus in error (anachronizing) to say that it "teaches us nothing at all" about Jesus.
Loftus tries to “refute” this one with what he alleges are “strong arguments” that there is “nothing a human can do or say that are completely free of selfish motives.” He gives the example of “psychological egoism.” Well, it’s not hard to find refutations of that concept: here for example:
Loftus apparently considered himself a victor in a debate but due to a recent barrage of people of all persuasions telling him that he had lost, he went into a mad rage.

Elizabeth Loftus, a stellar addition to the constellation of talent in the School of Social Ecology, could just as easily have found a place in philosophy, literature or even theology.
From the McMartin Preschool case to allegations surrounding pop star Michael Jackson to the wave of recovered memories swamping the Catholic Church, she has been a contrary voice challenging the purity of remembered truth and the efficiency of the brain’s synaptic storage.
Indeed, when Loftus shows up on the witness stand, as she often does, to refute repressed memory theories and lament the mind’s ability to embrace suggested chimeras, she makes many people extremely mad.

I recently took a course from Loftus' graduate advisor (on cognitive concepts of memory in clinical psychology, no less).
I think it's important to note (as Loftus does) that the notion of "repressed" and "recovered" memories is not nonsense.
For example, Loftus says, therapists who work with traumatized war veterans have told stories of how one veteran might inadvertently "borrow" a harrowing combat tale from another vet who's in the same support group.
