Loftus's Critique of Repressed Memories
Elizabeth Loftus questions the accuracy of recovered repressed memories, such as those involving childhood sexual abuse. She is skeptical of the therapeutic questioning process used to access these memories, arguing that even minor suggestions from a therapist can lead to misinformation effects that alter the patient's recall.
