How Elizabeth Loftus Changed the Meaning of Memory

The psychologist taught us that what we remember is not fixed, but her work testifying for defendants like Harvey Weinstein collides with our traumatized moment.

After 4+ weeks JS still can't figure out which button to push on the overhead projector

 

[Megnut]

[While we wait for something relevant, I've got a word puzzle. How long would it take MT to burn 48 pages?]

 

[Mysticeilis]

JS doesn’t stand next to witness while she looks at document like he did with P’s witnesses!

 

[jennyjenny]

Why did JS have to show/a visual of contract to the jury??

 

[Megnut]

Did you all catch that? -- $6000 retainer.

JS moved the page fast.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please know there is a sidebar located just outside the conference room, where goodies, treats and a Mimosa/ Bloody Mary Bar are available during this seminar.

@shotgun09, I just left my chair and checked the Mimosa/Bloody Mary Bar and wanted to report that WE ARE OUT OF COCKTAILS! Any hope of a refill!
MOO

I hope McGinnis
and Manning have their barf bags handy.

All I’m hearing is “KA-Ching”

Que Pink Floyd's " Money" on your play list!!!

"When time passes, memory fades. You don't need a PhD to know that".

[What about a few days later, Professor?]

 

[carolmaria]

I hope McGinnis
and Manning have their barf bags handy.

The constant addressing of the jury doesn’t look organic to me. Preening.

Yup, the jury has been at this long enough imo.

L&C commentary - continues to be ON FIRE:

"Foghorn drags things out….."
"Lies lead to more lies in memory"
"Lies lead to more lies in memory"
"She remembers what she had for breakfast on May 24th"
"Michi forgot she’d be seen next to the FedEx box"
"MT remembers her Starbucks order but not if she showered with FD..."
"MT writes down what she cannot or doesn't want to remember"

 

[Megnut]

People tend to remember more about a shocking event.

JS: is inconsistency common?

Witness says memories can change.

Media might impact people's recollections.

Reviewed transcripts and "large parts" of video.

Created a last minute report.

 

[citygirl]

Cross. One question. If you know, was the defendant ever in the military?
No further questions.
MOO

 

[BUF]

Oh, I think McGuinness is ready for this…

 

[afitzy]

After 4+ weeks JS still can't figure out which button to push on the overhead projector

He has memory issues....good thing Dr Loftus is present for him to consult with today!

POST EVENT SUGGESTION

Buckle up!

MOO

Evidence-Based Justice Acknowledges Our Corrupt Memories

The work of psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, who has spent decades exposing flaws in eyewitness testimony, is gaining fresh traction in the U.S. legal system

www.scientificamerican.com

“Lying to children is a slippery slope that makes me uncomfortable,” says Judy Illes, a neuroethicist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. “Can't we alter their behavior in a positive way, instead of using subterfuge?” But Loftus dismisses the concerns, suggesting that even if therapists cannot do it, parents might want to. “Parents lie to their kids all the time, about Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. Would you rather have an unhealthy kid, or one with a few false memories?”

 

[Megnut]

False memory

Post event suggestions
That's the area she's contributed the most to.

Post event information, especially if it's misleading, can change, contaminate a person's memory.

"These are people aren't lying, believe what they remember."

Interrogation techniques and affect memory.

People will adopt misinformation.

[How does this apply to MT?]
